SUNNYVALE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ooma, Inc., a smart communications platform for businesses and consumers, today announced its Ooma AirDial solution for POTS replacement has added certifications and boosted regulatory compliance, giving customers greater assurance when choosing AirDial to connect life safety and physical security equipment such as fire alarms, elevator phones and building entry systems.
Analog copper-wire phone lines, also known as Plain Old Telephone Service or POTS, are currently being phased out, with monthly costs rising rapidly and reliability declining, driving an immediate need for alternative connections.
Ooma AirDial (https://www.ooma.com/airdial) is the all-in-one POTS replacement solution that combines hardware, software, remote device management and cloud telephony on a single monthly bill, along with white-glove professional installation and expert customer support.
Certifications for AirDial now include:
- The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY), record ID # 2024-TMFRAL-001851-VRNC, for connecting fire alarm panels
- The California Office of the State Fire Marshal (https://calfire.govmotus.org/GOVFirePublicReport/ReportPublic?AppNum=CF23000981BML) for connecting fire alarm panels
- AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and UScellular for network compatibility
- UL 864 and UL 62368-1 for electrical safety
Ooma AirDial is also designed with regulatory compliance in mind, in situations where no official certification is offered. Among these regulations are:
- American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) A17.1 for elevator phones
- National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 72 for fire alarm panels
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for healthcare organizations
- Payment Card Industry (PCI) for credit-card processing
“We believe Ooma AirDial is a leader in complying with regulatory requirements for POTS replacement,” said Thad White, vice president of product management at Ooma. “We’re especially pleased to have earned certification from both the New York Fire Department and the California State Fire Marshal, two of the most widely respected pacesetters in evaluating and approving new fire protection technology.”
