   POTS replacement [telecom]   
   10 Oct 21 12:54:53   
   
   From: wb8foz@remove-this.panix.com   
      
   There exists a species known as "POTS Replacement" router.   
      
   It refers to, in effect, a cellphone that you screw to the wall; it has   
   an RJ11 jack for a POTS phone. It's used where you can no longer order a   
   POTS line from the LEC, such as in much of Verizon FIOS territory.   
      
   VZ tried to foist off an older version called Voice Link on some coastal   
   NJ/NY areas where their cable plant was destroyed by Sandy; it backfired   
   badly for residence use.   
      
   But current products do well serving existing dialup alarm systems, and   
   NFPA fire alarm systems. Another term is "Elevator Phone" as elevators   
   require emergency phones.   
      
   I wonder what, if any, models CDT readers have experience with?   
   I seek one with:   
      
   a) 1 Line, RJ-11 jack   
   b) The carrier will be AT&T Wireless   
   c) LTE Voice {and maybe even 5GeeWhiz...}   
   d) It needs jacks for external outdoor antennas   
   e) And 12/24VDC power   
      
      
   It's not for a fire alarm, which requires NFPA approval, just voice.
