Main Concerns
This article outlines the new weaknesses concerned with Voice Over IP (VOIP) Digital Phone
Service and Digital Phone Service. It can affect security and fire alarm system communication. VOIP service is
much different than classic POTS telephone lines in that it routes all phone traffic through
a digital converter, then over the internet. When compared with a POTS line, new concerns
are introduced that could affect the stability and dependability of burglar or fire alarm system
communication.
Plain old telephone service, or POTS, is the service available from analog telephones prior to
the introduction of electronic telephone exchanges into the public switched telephone network.
These services had been available almost since the introduction of the telephone system in the
late 19th century. VOIP is a very new technology and this list will help reduce the possibilities
of failure wherever possible by educating the end user and presenting possible solutions.
