You got a copper-retirement or analog-line notice, or the analog lines are climbing. We inventory, split the estate, source replacements, and keep every contract in your name.
Independent, owner-led advice from Columbus since 2003. Jonathan Eubanks still takes the first call. Coverage is worldwide, with a Midwest sweet spot. We shop 400+ carriers. We do not own the copper, and we do not own the replacement.
The ILEC is retiring the copper at your building. The window is short. The lines on that circuit are almost never one job.
Nobody sent a sunset letter, but the POTS and analog lines keep getting more expensive. That is the same problem on a slower clock.
Office phones, a fax, a postage meter, a fire DACT, an elevator phone, area of refuge. They share a bill. They do not share a replacement.
Treat every copper pair as a hosted-VoIP seat and you will get the office phones right and the life-safety wrong. We inventory first, then split.
The phones people talk on. These usually move to SIP, hosted VoIP, or Teams Phone. That is a voice project, quoted line-by-line, contract in your name.
Hosted voice & UCaaS →Cloud fax where a machine is not required. Analog emulation or an ATA where a postage meter, alarm communicator that is not life-safety, or a legacy modem still has to dial.
Fire DACTs, elevator phones, area of refuge. Listed cellular or dual-path, with the AHJ involved. Not VoIP. Not a RingCentral seat. Not NFPA 72 by wishing.
We are an independent advisor, not a carrier and not the fire contractor. Discovery, comparison, and cutover oversight cost you nothing directly. The carrier pays a residual when you sign. You hold the contracts.
We build the list from invoices and a demarc walk. Every pair gets a job: office voice, fax/modem, or life-safety. Nothing is assumed from the carrier notice alone.
We compete the replacement across 400+ providers, matched to what that pair actually does. One platform for the phones. A listed path for the panel. Not the same quote twice.
We stay through a parallel run, then disconnect the copper so it stops billing. You sign in your name. We remain the number you call.
Life-safety is a listed-product and AHJ problem. We will not pretend a cloud phone seat is a fire communicator.
Book a call with Jonathan, or email the carrier letter. No deck, no discovery engagement, no obligation. You deal with the principal from the first call.
