POTS Replacement for Banks, Credit Unions, and ATM Networks
Replace copper alarm, vault, and ATM dial-backup lines with managed cellular transport. Supervised paths, battery backup, and audit documentation.
The short answer
Banking POTS replacement moves branch alarm lines, vault and duress circuits, elevator phones, and ATM dial-backup onto managed cellular or fiber transport. Signaling to the central station is preserved, paths are supervised continuously, and every cutover produces documentation suitable for audit and examination files.
Branch infrastructure is where copper hides longest. Vault alarms, duress buttons, night-drop sensors, and ATM dial backup were installed when copper was the only option, and they are the lines examiners ask about.
Managed transport keeps the signaling identical while making the path observable. That turns an unmonitored liability into a documented, alerting control.
Lines we typically replace here
- Vault, safe, and duress alarm circuits
- Burglar and fire alarm communicators
- ATM dial backup and service lines
- Elevator phones in multi-story branches
- Fax lines for loan and wire documentation
A four-line site runs $70/month all in. Full pricing.
Requirements
What banking and atm demand
Supervision that satisfies examiners
Continuous path monitoring with retained alert history gives you evidence that the alarm transport was up, not just an assumption.
Encrypted, carrier-agnostic transport
Traffic rides a private APN on multi-carrier SIMs rather than the open internet, with automatic failover between networks.
Central station verification
Every alarm line is signal-tested end to end with the monitoring center before the copper line is disconnected.
Branch-by-branch rollout
Cutovers are scheduled outside banking hours, one branch at a time, with rollback available until the copper line is released.

Other environments we cover
Elevator phone lines
Elevator phone line replacement swaps the copper POTS line feeding an elevator emergency phone for a managed device that carries the same analog signal over 5G/LTE or fiber. The elevator phone, dialer, and cab wiring stay exactly as installed, and the line keeps working through a commercial power outage on internal battery.
Fire alarm communicators
Fire alarm POTS replacement moves the copper lines feeding a DACT (digital alarm communicator transmitter) onto managed cellular or fiber transport. The panel keeps dialing the central station exactly as programmed, while the transport path is supervised and alerted on so a failed line is caught in minutes rather than at the next test.
Healthcare
Healthcare POTS replacement consolidates the analog lines a hospital or clinic still depends on – elevator phones, fire alarm DACTs, nurse call auto-dialers, blood bank and freezer alarms, and fax – onto managed cellular or fiber transport with 24/7 supervision, without touching the clinical devices themselves.
Retail and multi-site
Multi-site POTS replacement standardizes the analog lines in every location – alarm panels, elevator phones, fire lines, and back-office fax – onto identical managed boxes with cellular or fiber transport, one consolidated invoice, and one portal showing the state of every line in the estate.
Education
Education POTS replacement moves campus emergency phones, blue-light call boxes, elevator lines, fire alarm communicators, and portable-classroom lines onto managed cellular or fiber transport, keeping every safety line working and monitored while removing per-line copper charges from the district budget.
Hospitality
Hospitality POTS replacement moves the analog lines a hotel is required to keep – elevator phones, fire alarm communicators, pool and spa emergency phones, and house fax – onto managed cellular or fiber transport with battery backup and continuous monitoring, with no work inside guest rooms.
