Ooma AirDial Achieves Compliance Milestones for Reliability and Safety as a POTS Replacement Solution

Ooma, a provider of connected experiences, announced that its Ooma AirDial solution, designed to replace Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) for mission-critical devices, achieved compliance milestones that attest to its reliability and safety.

As its reliability is further affirmed, it proves a good option for wireless connection needed for devices like fire alarm panels, elevator phones, building entry systems, and blue light safety phones.

The Ooma AirDial device provides a wireless cellular network connection so that those working to transition away from legacy devices and communications can do so safely and within regulations and compliance needs.

For building owners, facility directors, IT teams and network managers this means having a solution they can trust to keep things safe and secure while moving away from omverpriced legacy communicatgions.

Toby Farrand, vice president of engineering and operations at Ooma, said, “A big part of this is focusing on product design and certifications that enable Ooma AirDial to comply with requirements of fire marshals, elevator inspectors, insurers and others who are responsible for keeping organizations safe and secure.”

Some of the company’s most recent compliance and design milestones include UL 864 certification, wireless carrier certifications from T-Mobile, AT&T and UScellular, PTCRB certification, UL2054 and UL62368-1 certification, and compliance with life-safety regulatory codes such as NFPA 72 and ASME A17.1. The solution is also now approved for use with compatible fire alarm control units and accessories by the California State Fire Marshal.

Most importantly, Ooma AirDial can connect through a Managed Facility Voice Network (MFVN) without using the public internet, which is important for meeting strict life-safety codes. Ooma works with cellular carriers to create a direct wired connection from the carrier network to the Ooma cloud in a shared data center, which then terminates at the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
