The Copper Sunset Is Here: Why It Matters For Your Business

For decades, plain old telephone service (POTS) lines have quietly powered essential systems we rely on every day—elevators, fire alarms, security panels, nurse call systems, and more. But those copper lines are rapidly disappearing. Carriers are phasing them out, and the few that remain come with rising costs and reduced support.

That’s where POTS Link, delivered by Matrix Integration, comes in.

This modern, LTE-based service replaces outdated copper lines with reliable, compliant, and cost-effective connectivity, ensuring your critical infrastructure keeps working exactly as it should.

Here’s why organizations are making the shift now:

• Compliance you can trust: POTS Link supports fire panels, alarm systems, and elevator connections in line with NFPA 72 and other life-safety regulations.
• Industry-wide need: From healthcare and K-12 education to hospitality, government, and beyond, any sector with legacy POTS lines is affected by the copper sunset.
• Cost efficiency: Businesses are seeing 20–50% lower costs compared to traditional POTS lines.
• Future-ready infrastructure: Built on LTE/5G networks with cloud visibility and monitoring, so you stay ahead of outages and compliance risks.

At Matrix Integration, our role is to guide you through these transitions. Copper retirement isn’t a someday problem, it’s happening now. And we’re here to ensure you have a clear path forward, without disruption to your operations.

If your organization still relies on copper POTS lines, now is the time to act. Let Matrix Integration help you assess your environment, identify risks, and chart a future-proof, compliant solution with POTS Link.
