Replacing Copper, Ensuring Reliability: AirDial in Action

Many businesses and facilities still rely on traditional analog telephone lines (POTS) to support critical systems such as entry phones, intercoms, elevators, fire alarms, and emergency phones. As carriers gradually phase out copper-based lines, organizations face rising costs, increased risk of service interruptions, and challenges maintaining essential communications. AirDial offers a modern solution by replacing legacy analog lines while maintaining full compatibility with existing systems, ensuring that critical communications continue uninterrupted without costly equipment upgrades.

One of the key advantages of AirDial is its ability to keep life-safety and operational systems fully functional. Emergency phones, intercoms, and alarm panels continue to operate seamlessly because AirDial is designed as a direct replacement for traditional phone lines. This ensures a smooth transition for facility managers, staff, and occupants alike, with minimal technical disruption.

AirDial uses patented MultiPath technology, sending calls simultaneously over both a wireless LTE connection and the building’s broadband network. If one path experiences congestion or failure, the other automatically carries the call, ensuring reliable communication even during critical incidents. This redundancy increases safety, reduces liability, and provides peace of mind for managers and employees.

Facility and building managers can also monitor all AirDial devices remotely via a cloud-based portal, checking signal strength, battery status, and overall device health without visiting each location. Automated alerts notify staff immediately if any device experiences an outage or fault, enabling quick intervention and minimizing downtime.

In addition to improved reliability, AirDial can reduce operational costs compared with traditional analog lines while providing greater visibility into system performance. Multi-site managers can centrally track devices, generate reports, and ensure compliance across facilities. By replacing aging copper infrastructure with AirDial, businesses in any industry can maintain fully operational emergency systems, intercoms, and other critical devices—protecting people, enhancing safety, and supporting operational continuity.
