Spectrotel Expands Suite of POTS Transformation Solutions

Spectrotel, Inc., a next-generation aggregator and leading integrated communication services provider, announced the expansion of their robust POTS Transformation as a Service (PTaaS) portfolio to include Ooma AirDial. The Ooma AirDial drop-in solution for business is a single package combining phone service, a wireless data connection and hardware that's easy to install and manage. This move underscores Spectrotel's commitment to consistently offer its partners and customers choice, options and flexibility for their digital transformations, leveraging the most cutting-edge technologies available.

The Ooma AirDial POTS replacement solution includes advanced features not found with other POTS replacement solutions including:

• Robust management portal and LCD display of essential performance indicators such as battery health, phone line status, and wireless signal strength
• Heat sink and ventilation for fan-less cooling
• Remote reboot capabilities, eliminating the cost and inconvenience of a "truck roll"

As telecommunication providers rapidly decommission POTS lines, companies that rely on copper networks must have a plan to transition to a compatible, affordable and reliable solution in order to avoid continued cost increases and ensure business continuity.  As the leader in POTS lines alternatives, Spectrotel helps customers address their copper transformation needs holistically, considering and planning for all the factors involved including compliance, security, expense, back-up protection, lead time and long-term viability to ensure a smooth transition.

"Spectrotel works tirelessly to ensure our customers and partners stay one step ahead of changes in the marketplace. We understand that considering and planning for all the issues involved in POTS transformation – identifying the right equipment, security, compliance, etc. – can be a daunting task," said Ross Artale, president and COO. "This partnership with Ooma gives our customers yet another next generation service that transforms the POTS experience into a fully managed, fully monitored proactive service while also still supporting special services, such as alarms, POS, elevator and fax. We give customers the peace of mind that comes from visibility into the status of their business-critical lines."

"As we launch Ooma AirDial and look to expand our distribution model, we're delighted to have an experienced partner such as Spectrotel to help us succeed," said Rob Ferrer, vice president of business sales at Ooma. "We're confident Spectrotel's nationwide reach and deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities involved with POTS transformation solutions will help their customers recognize AirDial as the best choice solution."
