A prominent Nationwide gym with over 700 fitness clubs in 11 states wanted to lower their exorbitant telephone bill from many providers/vendors as well as eliminate headaches from deteriorating copper infrastructure. Forward-thinking executives knew that traditional copper wire lines would soon become a thing of the past. The FCC already approved discontinuation of copper wire POTS. Future-proofing the business and cost control was a priority. Further, the client had new construction. If they continued to use POTS lines, the new construction would have to deal with telecommunication vendor delays, resulting in costly permits and fines. The company needed to switch from First Generation POTS lines in both their old and newly constructed buildings without disruption to a business which never closes. Each gym had POTS lines for fire alarms, elevators, emergency pool phones and modems for out-of-band management. Further, the company experienced poor service from their telephone aggregator provider. When there was a problem with a line, crews were very slow to respond, costing them business. The phone lines for this customer are mission critical to their business. Down lines equate directly to gym closures and lost revenue. If the fire alarm system went down, the company would have to dedicate employees to a costly “fire watch”.
“The writing was on the wall. We all knew this change was coming. By making the switch, we modernized our telecommunications, and
saved the company millions of dollars.”
