Hudson Valley IT firm Fisch Solutions (845-237-0000) has announced a new guide addressing common questions about POTS line replacements, covering when copper infrastructure will be retired and what local businesses and property owners need to do before the June 2026 deadline.
-- New York-based managed IT provider Fisch Solutions has published a new guide addressing common questions about POTS line replacements in the Hudson Valley. The resource covers which systems connect to copper lines, when those analog lines will stop working, how long replacement installations take, and what property owners in Orange and Dutchess counties need to do before June 2026.

The guide was developed in response to growing inquiries from businesses that have copper-dependent systems on their premises but are uncertain how the retirement will affect them. Elevator emergency phones, fire alarm dialers, security panels, fax lines, and older credit card terminals are among the devices commonly running on POTS lines — many of which will stop functioning when service is cut.
The telecommunications industry is undergoing one of its most significant infrastructure shifts in decades. AT&T has received FCC approval to begin decommissioning approximately 500 wire centers in June 2026, and the company spends an estimated $6 billion annually maintaining its aging copper network, according to AT&T's own reporting. Verizon is also targeting copper retirement across the tri-state region by 2026 to 2027.
With the June deadline approaching, Fisch Solutions reports a rise in inquiries from organizations only now discovering their copper-connected systems may be at risk. The guide walks property owners through auditing existing POTS lines, identifying replacement options such as cellular POTS units and VoIP migration, and coordinating with contractors early — equipment lead times are currently running four to eight weeks in many areas.
"A lot of businesses don't realize how many systems are still running on copper until one of them stops working," a Fisch Solutions spokesperson explains. "This guide is intended to give property owners a clear picture of what they have, what's at risk, and what steps to take before the deadline creates a real disruption."
