The Quiet Phase-Out of POTS Lines and Its Impact on Campus Operations
Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2026 at 11am PT / 2pm ET
Across campuses, many critical building and communication systems still rely on POTS lines, including fire alarm panels, elevator phones, blue light phones, and building entry systems. Carrier support for copper lines is ending, often without a clear or consistent timeline. For many colleges and universities, the impact first appears during inspections, outages, or renewals.
In this webinar, attendees will learn:
- Where POTS lines are still used across campus operations
- How declining carrier support is surfacing
- Which systems tend to be affected first and why
- Why timing becomes harder to control
- How campuses are planning to maintain reliability and meet compliance expectations
Designed for facilities, operations, and IT leaders, this session offers practical guidance to help campuses plan ahead as legacy phone service gets discontinued.
