Security & Burglar Alarm POTS Replacement
Cellular Communication for Burglar, Intrusion, and Security Panels
When the copper line to your burglar alarm dies, so does the signal to the central station. The POTS Box keeps intrusion, panic, and hold-up systems online with a UL-listed, dual-SIM cellular communicator that plugs into your existing security panel.
Copper Retirement Is a Blind Spot for Security Systems
Burglar alarms depend on the phone line to reach the central station. Once the POTS line is disconnected, the panel is effectively deaf — it can still sound the local siren, but no one is dispatched. Insurers, AHJs, and end customers all consider that non-compliant.
- Silent burglar alarm panels no longer reaching central station monitoring
- Insurance non-compliance and coverage risk on alarm-protected premises
- Panels sending trouble signals as carriers cut the copper
- Legacy dialers that don't natively speak IP or cellular
- Multi-tenant portfolios with unknown panel and line counts
