Copper is being retired. Know what is riding on your lines.
Nimbl Networks is a technology advisory firm based in Dallas, Texas, that helps multi-site organizations design, negotiate, implement and support telecom and managed services. Carriers are retiring copper and raising off-contract rates on the POTS lines behind fire, alarm, elevator, fax and voice. This two-page checklist takes you from “we still have copper lines” to a validated inventory with a conversion path for every line.
Inside the checklist
Two pages of practical steps.
- What to gather first: vendor invoices, any inventory you hold, and the alarm and elevator service contracts
- A line-by-line inventory: telephone number and use case (fax, alarm, fire, elevator, voice), by site
- The conversion path per line: a modern cloud voice platform, an existing system with SIP trunks, or a digital POTS service for fire, safety and 911 lines
- How the inventory gets validated: a letter of authorization and the carrier’s customer service records
- What a digital POTS service costs per line, and the sequence from first list to final bill
Supplier neutral. Two pages, printable.
