Legacy Device Compatibility
Modernize, don’t replace what still works
If your existing equipment is reliable and code compliant, replace your copper lines, not your devices.
Supports a wide range of legacy analogue devices
Avoids unnecessary equipment replacement
Protects your investment while modernizing communications
No Up-front Hardware Costs
Move forward with no initial expense
Replacing aging copper lines shouldn't require up-front investment. Hardware is included as part of your service.
No up-front costs
Predictable monthly pricing with no surprise equipment purchases
Modernise sooner without waiting for the next budget cycle
How it works
Survey & scope - your sites and lines are surveyed, and each analogue service is mapped to a replacement configuration.
Install & port - the gateway is installed at the demarcation point; your existing number is ported or a new number provisioned. Equipment plugs in exactly as before.
Monitor & manage - every line is monitored 24/7 from our cloud platform, with proactive alerting, remote diagnostics and full support included.
What’s included
What Makes DIGI-POTS Different?
Four layers of resilience
A critical line should never have a single point of failure. Every line we deliver is protected by:
1. Primary connection - voice runs as VoIP over the site's wired connection to our hosted cloud PBX.
2. Automatic cellular failover - if the wired path drops, the gateway switches seamlessly to 4G data and calls carry on.
3. Dual-SIM redundancy - if one mobile network degrades, the device switches SIM to the strongest available signal.
4. Battery backup - an internal battery keeps the line alive through power cuts, with up to 24 hours of standby.
Works with what you already have
The gateway presents a standard analogue line, so existing equipment connects without modification or reprogramming:
• Alarm and fire panels - full Contact ID signalling support
• Fax and franking - T.37 and T.38 fax supported
• Modem-based equipment - V.150.1 modem support for legacy dial-up devices
• Two lines per device - dual analogue ports as standard, so paired lines (e.g. fire panel dual-path) run from a single unit
Why not just standard VoIP?
• Purpose-built for analogue equipment - fire panels, lift phones and alarm dialers weren't designed for IP.
Our gateway presents the analogue line they expect, while we handle the digital side.
• Failover as standard - four layers of resilience on every line, down to the battery.
• Preconfigured, plug-and-play - devices ship ready to install, so a line can be live the same day.
• Managed end to end - number, call control, connectivity, monitoring and support from one provider, not a patchwork of suppliers.
Compliance
Designed to support the requirements of regulated and life-safety applications, including EN 81-28 (lift emergency communication), EN 50136 (alarm transmission systems), and replacement of withdrawn signalling services such as BT Redcare.
