Ooma AirDial, AdvancedSolution for POTS Replacement, Now Available to the Public Sector Through Carahsoft

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – September 11, 2024 – Ooma, Inc., a smart communications platform for businesses and consumers, today announced a partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider^®. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Ooma’s Master Government Aggregator^®, making its Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) replacement products available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2), National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint and OMNIA Partners contracts.

“We’re excited to partner with Carahsoft due to its exceptional reputation among Public Sector procurement managers and technology leaders,” said Chris Burgy, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Ooma. “Our goal for Ooma AirDial has always been to make POTS replacement as easy and straightforward as possible, which meshes perfectly with Carahsoft’s mission of making its partners’ leading solutions more accessible to Government customers.”

As analog copper-wire phone lines, also known as POTS, are being phased out nationwide, the need for POTS replacements is becoming increasingly essential. Carriers are significantly increasing monthly rates for POTS lines while reliability is declining. Despite this, many life-safety and physical security systems-such as elevator phones, fire alarm panels, door entry systems, public safety phones and burglar alarms-still rely on POTS. Ooma AirDial offers a wireless drop-in replacement for these POTS lines, designed with regulatory compliance in mind. It significantly reduces monthly costs and includes advanced features such as remote management through an online portal and alerts for emergency calls.

“With the addition of Ooma AirDial to our offerings, Carahsoft and its reseller partners are well positioned to help Public Sector agencies respond to the impending ‘copper sunset’ of POTS with a turnkey solution that is easy to install, easy to operate and saves taxpayer dollars,” said Brandi Hiebert, Sales Manager for the Mobility Business Unit at Carahsoft. “We’re impressed with Ooma’s dedication to assisting customers at every step of the POTS replacement journey, including pre-installation site audits, professional installation and comprehensive post-installation support. We look forward to enabling Government agencies to efficiently replace their POTS with less costly, more advanced and effective systems.”

Ooma’s solution for POTS replacement is available through Carahsoft’s SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B, ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042 ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042, NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement #AR2472 and OMNIA Partners Contract #R191902.
