SOL Communications is a partner with Spectrum Business. We are able to quote, sell, review, negotiate with, and provide guidance on all Spectrum Business services. The following content on POTS to VoIP is taken from the Spectrum Voice product. 

The FCC has mandated that providers transition from POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) to next-generation technology, such as VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). In fact, most providers are already removing the copper wire on which POTS relies and are minimizing support.

VOIP is a digital voice service that enables you to make phone calls while also enjoying greater functionality and productivity. VOIP also supports your existing systems, minimizing disruptions to your business.

You need a solution that will support business phones, security systems, POS and fax machines and elevators

It is important to have a phone system that boosts your business's connectivity and productivity. But you also need a lower cost to set up and maintain that system.

Make sure your provider is offering advanced features, such as auto attendant, voicemail to email, call hunting and more. If you have questions on any of these features, don't hesitate to reach out. 

SOL Communications wants to make sure that each business understands the value of competing phone systems. The most expensive voice solution is not always the right fit. Let SOL Communications work with your business to find a phone system that will work for you.

Fire and Security Alarms - Voice and Wireless

The National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code 2019 of Maine - 29.10.9.10.6 writes the following:

A dedicated cellular telephone connection shall be permitted to be used as a single means to transmit alarms to a constantly attended remote monitoring location.

Both radio and cellular are safe ways to set up an alarm system in Maine but it is best to review this with both your carrier and trusted alarm system provider. Radio may actually be the best because there will be no sunsetting the technology (like there will be with POTS, 2G, or 3G).

While SOL Communications is a Maine-based business, we specialize in helping business owners from anywhere in the United States manage their technology. Let us know if your business is in the middle of trying to figure out how to associate your telecommunication needs with your fire detection or security alarms. Our goal is to ensure you have the best technology for your needs at the most affordable rate.
