What does POTS stand for?

At present, the architecture and design of broadband access equipment are evolving into IP-based next generation network (NGN) implementations that support multiple revenue generating services instead of traditional digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAMs) and plain old telephone systems (POTS) in central offices and remote digital loop carrier (DLC) locations.

Voice over IP telephony, or VoIP as it is known, can be a viable and cost effective alternative to the Plain Old Telephone System (POTS).

The Integrated/Voice Data (IVD) version of the chipset is the only available ADSL transceiver chipset with a fully integrated Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) splitter and support for baseband voice processing.

The splitter functions on both integrated service digital networks (ISDN) and plain old telephone systems (POTS).

The Integrated/Voice Data (IVD) version of the chipset is the only available ADSL transceiver chipset with a fully integrated Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) splitter and support for baseband voice processing.

For carriers that are faced with the triple threat of voice, data, and video service from cable operators, video delivered over the plain old telephone system is the ace in the hole," said Mark Bieberich, senior analyst at Yankee Group.
