Tricky Challenges Under Big Opportunity

The concept of POTS replacement has been around for a long time, but until today, there are still millions of analogue devices waiting to be replaced or moved to IP networks.

It’s undoubtedly a big opportunity for MSP and UC Cloud provider, but also the inherent incompatibility between analogue systems and IP networks has become increasingly apparent with the rapid advancement of IP networks.

Back to the day when people can’t tolerate the bad successful rate with FoIP (Fax over IP), people introduced T.38 Fax that is dedicated to solve the transition of Fax over unstable IP network, it is already a modern solution, but it still hasn't solved the fax transmission problem completely because not everybody owns an Internet-aware Fax machine.

And it’s not just about Fax, there are more devices that relied on landline in the application of Contact ID and modem, which normally associated with people’s safety and production activity. These critical and crucial application are even easier get affected by weak network, a tiny network jitter can lead to failure communication.

Solution That Bring POTS Replacement to Next Level

It’s nearly impossible to build an actual land line in today, but is it possible to build a virtual “land line” that could carry all the all the signal from legacy device just like what copper line did? A special tunnel that is solid and stable as always.

The answer is Vola POTS media SBC.

Vola SBC provide a variety of strategies to deal with Network Jitter, Network Latency and Packet loss between access network to core network. This adaptive capability in complex network environment can greatly guarantee the connection from user’s alarm panel to the call station, or daily data transmission from a modem on remote area to your client’s office.

With Vola POTS Media SBC, your Fax machine, Alarm Panel or a modem behind POS can build uninterrupted communication to any places with your UC cloud.

And the most important thing is, it require nearly nothing for a UC cloud, any UC cloud can seamlessly work with Vola POTS Media SBC and you can rest assure that your clients‘ legacy device can get “as good as land line” communication under your service.

Best Match: PR12 + Vola POTS Media SBC

Vola PR12 is a 4G LTE ATA that could support both VoIP and VoLTE.

In a typical POTS line Replacement Solution, LTE is a mainstream network access method. As an all-in-one device, PR12 not just provides LTE connection but also Integrate 2 ports ATA, providing dual voice line for legacy devices like Fax machine, alarm panel or modem. It also integrate built-in battery to support the device to operate 24 hour after power outage.

Compared to wired-network, LTE is relatively unstable, especially in confined spaces such as elevator rooms or machine rooms. Unexpected network jitter or packet loss may deeply affect the communication effect.

At this point, the combination of Vola PR12 and Vola POTS Media SBC demonstrates strong application capabilities in POTS transformation. You don’t need to worry about the network facilities or environment, you don’t need to spend a couple of weeks to deal with the compatibility with your clients‘ device. There is no complex installation and configuration, just install one Individual device: PR12 and connect it to your UC cloud with Vola POTS media SBC, and everything can run as usual.
