Utilizing POTS Transformation to Enhance VA Landlines
The digital transformation and communications company said Tuesday under the multi-year, single vendor contract, MetTel will leverage its multi-carrier POTS Transformation offering to enhance the agency’s 15,000 telephone landlines in 1,875 sites. The task order, awarded through the GSA’s Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions contract, will cover standard voice lines and specialty lines supporting elevators, fire and burglar alarms, emergency 911/call boxes, fax machines and modems. The work will involve transitioning circuit-switched phone signals to a networked, multi-path IP system.
Aside from enhancing VA voice connectivity, the POTS Transformation service utilizing the DataRemote “POTS in a Box” platform, will also provide detailed port-level analysis, continuous monitoring, multi-path failover and advanced reporting.
