“Emergencies don't wait—neither should you.” —Dave Beagle, Ooma In a time-sensitive and information-rich conversation, Doug Green, publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with Dave Beagle of Ooma to discuss the urgent need for businesses to migrate away from traditional copper POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines. Beagle delivered a compelling presentation centered around Ooma's Airdial solution, which is specifically engineered to support mission-critical applications like fire and life safety systems. The discussion highlighted a ticking clock: with AT&T aiming to sunset all copper lines by 2029—and over 10 million POTS lines still active—resellers and IT advisors are faced with a once-in-a-generation opportunity. “That means replacing over 8,500 lines a day, starting now,” said Beagle. “It's time for partners to act.” Ooma Airdial stands out in the growing “POTS-in-a-box” market for several reasons: Purpose-Built for Fire Life Safety: Unlike competitors that cobble together multiple technologies, Airdial is a vertically integrated solution—built by Ooma from the ground up for environments like elevators, fire panels, and emergency call systems. MultiPath Transport (MPT): Ooma's patented, active-active voice transmission over LTE and Ethernet ensures emergency calls remain connected without failover delays. Compliance and Visibility: Airdial supports NFPA 72, UL certifications, and PCI/HIPAA regulations, with device-level management available via a robust Remote Device Manager portal. Award-Winning Technology: Airdial has earned accolades from Elevator World, Internet Telephony, FacilitiesNet, and Frost & Sullivan for innovation and reliability. Beagle also underscored how rising costs and decommissioning notices—often buried in telecom bills—are already impacting organizations. In one case, a $100 POTS line was suddenly billed at $1,000 due to a rate hike buried in the fine print. “That's $25,000 in exposure over two months—money that could've gone to laptops in a school district or medical equipment in a hospital,” said Beagle. Airdial's design reflects real-world installation challenges: from basement deployment and signal optimization to asset management and E911 location accuracy. Even the power cord has a locking mechanism to prevent accidental shutdown. “We control the hardware, the software, and the supply chain,” Beagle said. “We believe that's why so many resellers and channel partners are choosing Airdial—and why many who started with other solutions are switching to Ooma.” To learn more, visit ooma.com/airdial.

In this episode of the VRMA Arrival podcast, Onita Mihaly, senior director of brand marketing at Ooma, discusses the company's role in improving short-term rental (STR) safety with its VoIP-based landline service.

In a special Technology Reseller News podcast, Clinton Fitch, Director of Strategic Partnership at Ooma, joined Doug Green to discuss the fast-shifting landscape of POTS line replacement—and why now is the time for both enterprises and exchange carriers to act. With over 171 million POTS lines in the U.S. in 2005, that number has plummeted to just 11.6 million in 2024, according to Telegeography. While most standard voice lines have been replaced, critical-use analog lines—such as elevator phones, fire panels, and fax machines—remain. These are now under increasing threat, as carriers begin rapidly sunsetting copper networks. “The time for POTS replacement is now,” said Fitch, citing recent announcements such as AT&T's plan to exit copper entirely by 2029. With the FCC's 2019 ruling now fully in effect, carriers are allowed to abandon copper and charge premium prices for maintaining legacy lines. The result: exchange carriers and their customers may receive only 30–90 days' notice before a vital analog line is shut down. Enter Ooma AirDial®—a certified, all-in-one cloud-based solution designed to replace legacy POTS lines with support for elevators, fire alarms, entry systems, modems, fax machines, and more. AirDial is certified by NFPA, the New York Fire Department, and the California State Fire Marshal, and supports HIPAA and PCI compliance. Built for rapid deployment, Ooma AirDial® offers: Dual-path connectivity (Ethernet + LTE) with MultiPath Transport™ for maximum reliability Remote Device Management via a secure, intuitive cloud platform Patented packet duplication for seamless call continuity Carrier-ready flexibility for white-label and managed service deployment According to Ooma's recent survey conducted with CIO Magazine, over 50% of organizations are actively evaluating or replacing their POTS infrastructure. But for the remaining users—many of whom are unaware of copper sunset deadlines—the window for a smooth transition is rapidly closing. “We're entering a traffic jam,” warned Fitch. “By 2027–2029, demand will outstrip supply for solutions, deployments, and expertise. If you're not starting now, you risk getting stuck at the back of the line—and your elevators, alarms, and other systems may stop working.” Ooma AirDial® is available now to exchange carriers, MSPs, and end customers—either through direct purchase or via carrier partnerships. With tens of thousands of units already deployed across healthcare, retail, education, and property management sectors, the solution is proven and ready to scale.

What makes Ooma AirDial different? “If you look at the POTS replacement landscape, there are a handful of things that separate Ooma AirDial from the other solutions out there,” says Clinton Fitch, Director of Strategic Partnerships. Ooma AirDial has many advantages over alternative solutions to the end-of-copper challenge. In this podcast, Clinton walks us through a brief set of slides showing how Ooma AirDial is a simple to implement, manage, and more. Here are 6 things that make Ooma AirDial the leader in POTS replacement: It is an all-in-one solution that includes data, phone telephony, hardware and remote device management. We manufacture the equipment and provide 24/7/365 support, so you get everything you need from one provider at one low monthly bill. You can easily self-install it or it can be deployed as a complete turnkey solution with white glove support.  We can provide everything from the assessment to the installation for you. AirDial was designed with all the applicable guidelines of UL, ASME, PCI, California fire marshal, PCI and so much more. Patented MultiPath technology routes voice traffic over LTE and ethernet simultaneously, so you have an active-active topology with immediate failover.  The bottom line – no calls are ever dropped. Remote device management portal gives you the ability to monitor all your devices regardless of their location. You'll receive SMS and email alerts when outages occur and when emergency calls are made. MFVN network ensures that communications never transverse the public internet.

Survey finds 1 in 10 organizations haven't begun migration process, while POTS lines remain present in companies where migration is underway Migration option can be an upgrade “We found that 90% of enterprise customers are already moving towards some sort of POTS replacement,” says Clinton Fitch of Ooma. “They either have a plan in place or they're doing pilots or something along those lines. What that means, though, is that 10% of those being surveyed had no plan. And it really is now a rush to get it done.” Clinton shares with us the finding of a recent survey they conducted with Foundry. Foundry is the parent company of CIO Magazine. Ooma has been on the frontlines of the migration process for two decades. Today, Ooma offers AirDial, a device that meets the needs of customers with POTS lines in places such as elevators. The traditional connectivity of POTS remains a requirement in these locations, but the intentional sunset of POTS lines means that many organizations are faced with uncharted territory. They must meet regulatory requirements to offer POTS functionality, in a a post-POTS environment.  “We're seeing customers that are seeing anywhere from three to 800% bill increases month over month,” adds Clinton. The obligations that governed POTS, are gone or are going. In some cases, organizations have only discovered their immediate need to get on top of migration because their critical POTS lines have simply been shut down. This can now occur without warning or notification. In many localities, a disruption would place the building or facility as being non-compliant. A company retrofitting a building might discover that even occupancy might be held up there's nothing to replace the previous points that had POTS services. Life-safety systems are covered by regulations – such as NFPA 72 for fire alarms and ASME A17.1 for elevator phones – that have specific requirements for POTS replacement, such as making sure the device uses a private network rather than sending data over the public internet. Not all POTS replacement devices are compliant. We learn that the survey found that people are hoping to not only remain in compliance, and avoid price surges, they also hope to find solutions that integrate with the rest of their technology stack. In this podcast we learn that Ooma AirDial, meets compliance requirements, offers full integration, with an upgrade.  “With AirDial, we've built in a lot of technology into this, and we've built in a lot of notifications as well. Customers will know if something's going on with that device, or they know if a device has gone offline, or if it's gone on battery power, if you've lost power, for example, wherever the device sits. But you can also get notifications on if a call happens.” Ooma offers help, advice and resources finding out the status of these needs across the organization. Ooma suggests and can help with an audit of the phone lines, as a first step in mapping out the migration process. Visit www.ooma.com/airdial

Ooma AirDial works where copper lines are disappearing, Podcast, “Anything, that has a copper line, Ooma AirDial would work for”  “There's no failover delay.” “Anything, that has a copper line, Ooma AirDial would work for” says Clinton Fitch of Ooma. The long reign of copper is over. The sunset of copper's once ubiquitous presence is underway. Elevators. Fire and emergency phones. Lines once dedicated to fax traffic. The way copper was deployed, in so many places over such a long period of time, can make it difficult for organizations to even know what they own, what they are paying for, in real time, and what needs to be replaced. In this podcast we learn that a good first migration step is to figure out what you have. It turns out organizations sometimes discover lines and charges that are literally being unused. “We always recommend that customers go and do an audit. And it's just as simple as taking your phone bill and going literally line by line and figuring out, yes, we're using this line,” adds Clint. Clint discusses the AirDial, a full end-to-end POTS replacement solution. We learn that whether its replacing a now possibly expensive line, still dedicated to FAX traffic, or to replace hard to reach places such as emergency phones or end points on on elevators, Ooma AirDial offers a robust solution with straightforward implementation, and a replacement that does not drop calls. “It completely replicates all the voice packets across two links, so the wired Ethernet link and then the wireless LTE link. This is an active-active technology, meaning that it's essentially best packet wins,” says Clint.  The product carries technology preventing failover. “There's no failover delay.” “Whatever the best packet is, the first one that gets there, because jitter and latency are not good for voice. Whichever one gets there first, that's the one we use.” https://www.ooma.com/airdial https://youtu.be/unBviCdcO-c

Listen today with Chris Burgy, Vice President of Corporate Development at Ooma as we talk about their specialized integrations. We talk about a common question, which is hospitality, and what their solution is along with all their other benefits for things like fax, alarms, fire panels, and more. We hear this request a ton from our partners, so don't miss out on what they have to offer as Chris uncovers it all today! Everybody, welcome back. Today we are talking about CX. We've got hospitality, safety and more. More importantly, though, we're talking about how to revolutionize communications through integrations. Today on with us, we have got Chris Burgy VP of Corporate Development from Ooma Chris, welcome on, my man. Josh, thanks for having me. Chris, I love to hear we were just joking about good windy paths into how you got to where you're at. So not Ooma yet. I want to hear about your path. My next question is going to be about Ooma but just tell us about your path, man. I mean, where did you start? How did you get here? Yeah, so I'm a bit of an odd journey and story. So I originally came out of corporate I.T., funny enough, and wound up working for what we would now term a SaaS company, but an ASP company, doing sales for a little bit, and then wound up co-owning a VARMSP with a partner. That's where I first got exposed to UC back in 2005. Old school network server engineer had a bunch of Juniper certifications, Cisco certifications, and then wound up going to work for a short-tell and completely different change of path for me. I went down the corporate development path, which is strategy, M&A. And so that ultimately led me toOoma I love the background, too. I think it's good foundationally, right? You know how the bits and bytes work, so you have such a different, maybe purview into this that I think others don't see that might step into that role. Really helpful. I mean, I've done personal installations of what's so funny. There's a major game company, and I designed the data center for them, and Los Angeles implemented all that on Juniper equipment. Totally hands-on in the VAR days, did a bunch of UC deployments with short-tell, and you never forget that. I still tinker around with stuff. Oh, yeah. We can't. We got to know how it works. We got to take it apart. Exactly. So if I think back, my first iterations of Ooma and what I think the general public might have known as Ooma is it started out as a residential VoIP product. So there might be some of our partners who still don't know how big and how commercialized Ooma is and the business offering. So help us understand Ooma of 5 to 10 years ago versus Ooma now. Yeah, and it's kind of spot on there. Most folks who recognize the brand still know us from the residential days, and believe it or not, that's still a growing business for us. And frequently we run into folks that, "Oh, I have a new Mattello in my house," or "My parents have a new Mattello," or "My aunt or uncle." But we recognize that there eventually would be a long-tail decline, obviously, in home phone service, and we had folks that were taking that little telo product into the micro S&B segments. So think about floor shop, automatic shop. And there's a bit of an aha moment for the company about 11 years ago. So we wound up building a UCaaS platform focused on S&B, and about five years ago, the focus shifted to the business portfolio, predominantly, and that's now the majority of our revenue, believe it or not. So a bit of a fascinating transition, but unique too, because we built hardware, which is really unusual for a SaaS company. And also coming from the consumer side, there's a lot of ethos for us around simplicity and deployment, simplicity and management that's necessary in the consumer market, but translates well, obviously, to the business space. Well, I think you learned a lot too.

During the middle of 2022, the FCC stopped regulating copper phone lines. If you are a business, high-rise building with elevators or a manufacturing facility with safety phones, alarms, building entry and/or speaker systems check for those old analog lines. They may be turned off and leave you liable for any resulting incidents. Raj Shah If you are a carrier or reseller, AirDial is a solid product to add to your portfolio.

Many resellers and VARs set up their own brands, so when bringing on new technology, branding becomes an essential issue.  For Ooma, branding comes in a couple flavors. Dave Beagle, Head of Channels for Ooma Business speaks with Don Witt of The Channel Daily News, a TR publication, about how they are very adaptable to the branding issue. David Beagle The White label program is one where Ooma performs the billing and the taxation along with the support. The Grey label program allows the reseller to perform his own billing and taxation along with the level 1 support. There are also some resellers that will give the customer a choice between several vendor brand options providing them the maximum flexibility possible. Support is the next channel issue on the resellers mind when looking at a new vendor. Ooma provides high-tech support with white glove service. Tier level 1, 2 & 3 are provided from U.S. based locations around the country. The partner can choose their support level based on their company needs. Support is provided offshore for international resellers and for the U. S. in rare overflow situations. Support is not just technical, it includes sales support, dedicated channel managers, sales team, project management, and more allowing resellers to address straight forward implementations along with those that are more complex which may need more Ooma resources. Ooma is dedicated to empowering customers to connect in smarter ways. Ooma creates powerful connected experiences for businesses and consumers which it delivers from its smart cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) platform. Ooma’s business and consumer phone service solutions are each ranked #1 by customers in third party surveys. For more information, go to: https://partner.ooma.com

COVID-19 has had a dramatic impact on many companies – both positive and negative. Since Ooma was initially an end user focused business, it was a natural to extend their expertise to the channel side of the business during the pandemic. Dave Beagle, Head of Channels, at Ooma, talks to Don Witt of The Channel Daily News, a TR publication, about their success assisting their reseller channel with the demands of business’s work-from-anywhere employee’s needs. David Beagle Dave continues the discussion about partnering.  It is a big decision for resellers to make. Ultimately, it boils down to the business and the portfolio. Ooma has a lot of special characteristics that allow it to be very flexible. Unlike many companies that have set programs and procedures, Ooma prides themselves on their adaptability to the reseller and the customer needs. They work with resellers and their customers needs all the time to configure the exact system required to meet the customer needs. For businesses, Ooma Office phone service enables small businesses to sound and act like a big business, with powerful features including desktop and mobile apps so users can work from anywhere. Ooma Enterprise phone service provides larger businesses with a complete unified communications as a service (UCaaS) solution that can be customized to meet the individual needs of complex organizations.

When crisis occurs, if a business is not prepared, they are in a total reactionary mode. Issues that need to be addressed are security, move to the cloud, remote workers, internet connections, bandwidth, sanitation, health issues and more.  A business is not going to be knowledgeable in all these areas.   If they are lucky, they have been working with a trusted advisor.  If they have not, they need to find one. David Beagle Dave Beagle, Head of Channels at Ooma, outlines to Don Witt of The Channel Daily News, a TR publication, what to look for and in a Trusted Advisor and how they should represent vendors to you. A trusted advisor can help you select your provider, broadband options, home network segmentation, voice requirements, network requirements and more. With all of that said, the business needs to think of their employees and what they are going through as well. They are suffering just like the business is suffering.

“If we take care of the customer, we will by nature, take care of the channel partner,” says Ooma’s Head of Channel Sales, Dave Beagle. In this podcast we learn how Ooma has broken out of its residential focused business into a major player in the commercial and channel sectors of cloud communications. Having learned hard won lessons on the home front, Ooma is notching up wins on the commercial side. In this podcast we learn how Ooma is approaching a radically changed UC landscape. According to Beagle, “WFH is WFA (word from home is work from anywhere),” so Ooma follows the user allowing him to move seamlessly in and out of work mode. Beagle discusses some major wins and case studies and makes the case for growth seeking companies to look at the Ooma Channel Program. In a journey that began in the home, Beagle argues that Ooma is uniquely qualified now to bring the office into the home, and into “anyplace” that the customer wants. Meeting the need for true mobility Beagle sees Ooma as singularly qualified to deliver. Visit www.ooma.com

Welcome to the third instalment of our ventures into the murky world of 10cc in the 1980s. This week we look at 'Windows in the Jungle', their last throw of the dice before a long lay-off that saw the band lay dormant until they were tempted back into the water with Meanwhile and Mirror Mirror in the '90s. Paul and Sean are once again joined by friends of the show Pany Bogdanos and Andrew Dalgarno. Andrew's a huge fan of this album, and we're so grateful for his enthusiasm, as without it, the two hosts and our Stateside special guest would be a bit lost, quite frankly! Once again, we disagree on just about everything. No surprise really, as this album perhaps more than any other splits 10cc fans down the middle. Is it a brave re-invention, where Eric and Graham throw out the rulebook in a genuine, last-ditched close collaboration? An attempt to re-invent the 10cc brand with a completely new group of top session musicians? Is it an ambitious and cinematic concept album, a kind of 'Une Nuit à New York'? Or is it an artistic and commercial failure, showing the same creeping malaise of below-par songwriting we've heard on the last two albums? Suffice to say,Andrew is passionate, Paul is underwhelmed, Sean is properly het up and Pany is a voice of reason in the crossfire! Whatever your views on this record, we hope you enjoy our debate here. There's certainly a lot to discuss, and of course we'll probably never get to the bottom of it.    

Deep Green Wireless LLC v. Ooma, Inc.

A caller asks about alternatives to cable for Internet and phone after her cable company increases prices.  We discuss DSL, and the use of VoIP services like Ooma and cellular base stations as alternatives to the cable phone service.  A caller Windows 7 wonders if he can use a Galaxy tablet to safely shop online with a credit card.  Plus, we give the recommended specifications for buying an upgraded computer: at least an Intel i5 processor or better, 8 GB RAM, solid state hard drive with at last 256 GB of storage.  We help a user with instructions on how to force a manual update to Windows 10 in light of recent news about a security flaw in the operating system.  A listener with an Apple computer wishing to upgrade her storage wonders about using personal "cloud" storage versus a solid state hard drive.  A listener looking to "cut the cord" with the cable company seeks a good streaming device.  We like the nVidia Shield device for this purpose.  Also the user suggests the use of PC Mover Pro software to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 with a transfer cable.  We also help with a discussion of routers needed if you are upgrading your router.  We also help a caller who wonders if his heavily using Internet household needs 200 Megabits of "fast" Internet service.  Plus, we give information about using OpenDNS to improve Internet security.  A caller adds that Google Voice is a great alternative for people cutting the cord for phone service from the cable company.  The only drawback to using Google voice and other VoIP services is that 9-1-1 service may not be available using an Internet-based phone provider.

Techstination interview: Ooma's new indoor/outdoor Smart Cam designed to be affordable and smart

Ooma is suddenly on the enterprise UCaaS stage. Like Vonage before it, Ooma has broken free of its consumer VoIP roots and expanded into enterprise UCaaS. Perhaps suddenly is the wrong word, it had Ooma Office, but last March expanded its footprint with the acquisition of Voxter:SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ooma, Inc. (NYSE:OOMA), a smart communications platform for businesses and consumers, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Voxter Communications Inc., a provider of custom UCaaS solutions for mid-market and enterprise businesses.Voxter will complement the Ooma Office solution for small business, giving Ooma a business communications portfolio that can meet the needs of organizations of all sizes.Founded in 2005 and based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Voxter provides its clients with fully hosted VoIP solutions, taking productivity to a higher level through a voice architecture that’s feature rich and highly customizable to meet the individual needs of each business. Beyond telephony, Voxter offers instant messaging, videoconferencing, contact center capabilities, integration with mobile devices and more.Voxter provides its advanced UCaaS solution to leading businesses, including Slack, Optimizely, Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort, Hyperwallet and Grafana.Suddenly, Ooma has a set of larger enterprise customers and some pretty slick back-end processing technologies. Slack is quite the reference customer too. In August, Ooma announced (featured in Quipz) a new GTM partnership with Talkdesk. It shows a commitment to expand its enterprise business with a broader, integrated portfolio.Another interesting tidbit about Ooma is its DECT know-how. I've always been a fan of DECT wireless technologies, though they are not that popular in the US. Since Ooma's premised-based gateway device has DECT for wireless phones, they also expanded into home security. DECT has better range, requires less power, and offers better security than Wi-Fi.https://talkingpointz.com/talkingheadz-15-chris-burgy-of-ooma/Published October 3, 2018
