Why NGAITA and AICTAaaS is the premier solution provider for the POTS Telecommunication Industry
Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) refers to the traditional analog telephone system that has been in use since the late 19th century. It operates over copper wires and was the backbone of voice communication for decades. POTS dates back to 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell introduced the telephone, and it remained the standard for telecommunication until the late 20th century.
Current Status of POTS

- Expensive to Maintain: Maintaining the aging copper infrastructure is costly and labor-intensive for telecom providers.
- Not Supported by Telcos: Many telecommunications companies are phasing out POTS due to high maintenance costs and the shift toward modern, digital solutions.
- High Costs for Customers: The cost of POTS services has risen significantly, with some businesses paying hundreds of dollars per line per month vs dollars per line per month.
