The POTS Replacement Solution for Energy & Utilities

Modernizing Energy & Utilities Infrastructure with Ooma AirDial®

Many Energy and Utilities operators still depend on outdated POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines for mission-critical communications and monitoring systems – especially when handling, managing, or transporting hazardous and combustible materials in remote or hard-to-reach environments. With analog lines disappearing, cost of POTS lines skyrocketing (up to 750% year-over-year), service level agreements (SLAs) diminishing, and regulatory pressure increasing, organizations are at risk of losing the communication path that bridges their Life-Safety Service devices and first responders.

Energy and Utilities organizations need more than just a signal converter – they need a managed, scalable, and rugged communications solution that assures uptime, simplifies deployment, and ensures compliance. Ooma AirDial is purpose-built to provide a seamless, cost-effective replacement for traditional POTS lines—ensuring regulatory compliance and safety assurance for operators across the U.S. AirDial delivers:

• Rugged, Remote-Ready Hardware – Compact, battery-backed, temperature-hardened devices, ideal for extreme oil & gas environments.
• MultiPath for Maximum Resilience – Unlike one-path solutions, AirDial ensures redundancy with built-in LTE plus Ethernet or Wi-Fi options.
