If your building still relies on POTS line replacement for life safety systems such as fire alarms or elevator emergency phones, you may be at risk. Major carriers are actively retiring copper infrastructure—and your building may lose critical life-safety communication without warning.
Where Legacy Analog Lines Still Exist
These critical systems were designed decades ago to run on copper telephone lines—
often called “POTS” (Plain Old Telephone Service).
Fire Alarm Systems
Commercial fire panels that report alarms to monitoring stations via analog phone lines.
Elevator Emergency Phones
Required life-safety phones inside elevator cabs that connect to emergency responders.
Building Security Systems
Gate intercoms, access control dialers, and security alarm panels still using copper lines.
Pool Emergency Phones
Required poolside emergency phones in condos, hotels, and multi-family properties.
Many carriers have announced the retirement of traditional copper networks. Learn more from the FCC.
Why Replacing Analog Lines Is Urgent
Major telecom carriers are actively retiring copper infrastructure.
When they do, your life-safety systems will stop working.
Fire Alarms Won’t Report
If your fire alarm panel can’t dial out to the monitoring station, fire emergencies won’t be reported. Code violations and serious liability exposure.
Elevator Phones Go Silent
Passengers trapped in elevators won’t be able to call for help. This is a code violation and puts lives at immediate risk.
Building Code Violations
Non-functional life-safety systems trigger code violations, insurance issues, and potential liability for property owners and managers.
Don’t Wait for a Code Violation
Schedule a free analog line risk assessment before it’s too late.
Who’s Responsible for Replacing These Lines?
Ownership of analog line replacement is often unclear—and that’s dangerous.
Property Owners & Managers
You’re responsible for maintaining code-compliant life-safety systems. If the analog lines fail and your fire alarm or elevator phone doesn’t work, you’re liable—even if the telecom provider discontinued service.
Fire Alarm & Elevator Companies
Your service provider may not proactively notify you about copper line retirement. They maintain the equipment, but telecom line changes often fall outside their scope until you report a service failure.
Telecom Carriers
AT&T, Lumen (formerly CenturyLink), and other carriers are retiring copper infrastructure with minimal notice. They’re not required to ensure your life-safety systems have a replacement in place.
The bottom line: Don’t assume someone else is handling this. As a property owner or manager, you need to take action now.
