RCN Technologies Partners with Major Texas University to Replace 75 POTS Lines with Custom High-Capacity POTS Link Solution

Knoxville, TN — October, 2025 — RCN Technologies, a national leader in managed wireless and voice transformation solutions, announced today the successful completion of a large-scale POTS line replacement project for a major Texas university, delivering a fully managed, high-capacity version of its POTS Link service to replace 75 legacy analog lines in a single demarcation room.

The university’s existing POTS infrastructure supported a broad array of mission-critical systems, including emergency phones, blue-light call beacons, backup 911 lines, elevators, fire alarms, and intrusion systems. After years of steady price hikes from their legacy telecom provider, the cost per analog line had become untenable, prompting the university to seek a more reliable, compliant, and cost-effective alternative.

The project presented a unique challenge: all 75 analog lines terminated into one central demarc room, requiring a solution that could consolidate service without deploying dozens of individual devices. RCN’s engineering team responded with a custom, high-density version of POTS Link, purpose-built to support the university’s high line count through a streamlined, centrally managed architecture.

“This engagement perfectly represents RCN’s engineering-first approach to POTS transformation,” said Reed Perryman, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “Our team doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We design, build, and manage configurations that align with the customer’s exact environment—ensuring line-type compatibility, scalability, and full code compliance from day one.”

Through close collaboration between the university’s network and facilities teams, RCN completed the design, provisioning, and migration process for all 75 lines. The resulting deployment consolidated the site’s analog infrastructure footprint, reduced total cost of ownership, and established a fully managed, cellular-based alternative backed by RCN’s 24×7 monitoring and support.

This project highlights RCN Technologies’ ability to engineer bespoke POTS replacement solutions for complex environments—from K-12 districts to large university campuses, healthcare facilities, and municipal agencies. Whether it’s custom form factors, proprietary line configurations, or multi-carrier redundancy, RCN continues to lead the industry in delivering compliant, scalable, and fully managed POTS transformation services.
