What is Copper Retirement <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Copper Retirement<\/strong> is the de-commissioning (or retirement) of the old Telephone circuit-switched network providing analog copper phone lines in the local ILEC or CLEC wire center (Central Office).  Customers still with an active analog copper phone line have to switch to the new packet-switched fiber optic telephone network or risk getting disconnected from their service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some examples of services today using the old analog copper phone lines are Fax, Alarm monitoring, Point Of Sale (POS) devices and Digital Subscriber Lines  (DSL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the ILEC\u2019s are slowly introducing their new packet-switched optic fibre network by delivering \u201cthe letter\u201d to millions of business\u2019 across the USA.  This \u201cletter\u201d informs you of the changes to the ILEC network and the impact it will have, should you not make the switch to their packet-switched optic fibre network.  While most of your communication services will be unaffected, one service that can be affected is Fax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fax<\/a> was designed to work over analog copper lines on circuit-switched networks and became very popular because of the reliability, security and legality of the fax transmission technology.\u00a0 While Copper Retirement has provided a relatively seamless migration for telephony over to the optic fibre packet-switched network, fax transmission technology initially was faced with challenges as the new packet-switched network did not meet the exacting standards required by Fax.\u00a0 In order to make Fax over packet-switched networks more robust, the T.38 protocol for Real-Time Fax was introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The T.38 protocol allows traditional stand-alone fax machines or Multi-function devices to act and send\/receive faxes exactly like they always have with no new training or exceptions.  While the ILEC\u2019s have prioritized the migration of DSL, Voice Telephony and Alarm services, they have ignored Fax. Fax is easy to ignore because most people (even the ILEC\u2019s) think that it doesn\u2019t exist anymore.  However, fax is alive and well and plays a very significant role in the Healthcare, Professional Services and Insurance business\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the ILEC\u2019s low priority of migrating Fax over to the new packet-switched optic fibre network, Patton Electronics and T.38 specialists babyTEL have teamed up to deliver Encrypted Fax devices and services that migrate you to the optic fibre packet-switched network today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
