NILES, Ill.—Talkaphone, a designer and manufacturer of emergency communications solutions, has announced the release of its newest solution: the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) Retrofit Kit.
According to the company, the VoLTE Retrofit Kit enables organizations to upgrade their existing legacy Blue Light Phone Towers–transitioning from outdated POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines to advanced 4G LTE cellular voice technology.
Voice over LTE Kit Provides Next-Generation Safety Communications
Talkaphone explains that telecom providers have been phasing out POTS lines for years, with the FCC accelerating the transition in 2019 and requiring providers to replace copper networks with digital alternatives by 2022. Now, without a requirement in place to support POTS lines, carriers are increasing their service costs to facilitate the transitions of businesses and municipalities towards more cost-effective and serviceable solutions. Upgrading to 4G LTE with the Voice over LTE retrofit kit the company asserts, modernizes these critical Blue Light Phone safety systems against the ongoing shutdown of traditional landlines, reducing costs and increasing service time if repairs are needed.
The Voice over LTE Retrofit Kit the company continues, is designed to revitalize outdated communication infrastructure without the need for complete hardware replacement. By converting legacy wired landline Blue Light Phone Towers into 4G LTE-enabled devices, Talkaphone boasts that organizations can upgrade to current communication standards without purchasing and installing a new tower.
The Kit provides a comprehensive, all-in-one solution for upgrading Blue Light Phones to 4G LTE, and the company suggests the kit is designed for a seamless transition.
