Ooma AirDial Adds Call Alerts for POTS Replacement, Making it Faster and Easier to Respond to Emergencies
Ooma announced that it has added Call Alerts to Ooma AirDial, a leading solution for POTS replacement, making it faster and easier for facilities managers and other personnel to respond to emergencies. Administrators can now select up to 10 recipients to get either SMS or email alerts when a call is placed on a line connected through AirDial. For example, when an emergency call is made from an elevator phone, alerts can go to the front desk, the maintenance staff and the building manager.
The Hidden Challenge Facing Thousands of Businesses
The Federal Communication said this in August 2019 in describing the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), also known as analog copper-wire phone lines or plain old telephone service (POTS). POTS is reaching retirement age after a very long run, starting on March 10, 1876, with Alexander Graham Bell famously barking, ?Mr. Watson, come here, I want you,? to his assistant. After almost 150 years, it?s no surprise that other technologies ?primarily mobile networks and voice over internal protocol, or VoIP, phone service? have eliminated the need for POTS infrastructure.
