TELCLOUD Earns FDNY Approval for Innovative POTS Replacement Solution

San Diego, CA – October 22, 2022 – TELCLOUD, a leading provider of advanced telecommunications and cloud-based communication services, today announced that its TELCLOUD MFVN (Managed Facilities-based Voice Network) devices have received official approval from the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) as compliant POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) replacement solution for fire and life safety systems.

The FDNY approval certifies that TELCLOUD’s solution meets the stringent requirements of the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72) and New York City’s local fire safety standards. This endorsement ensures that TELCLOUD provides reliability equivalent to the traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) for transmitting critical fire alarm signals, allowing businesses and organizations in New York City to transition away from outdated copper-based lines without compromising safety or performance.

As the nation’s largest fire department and a benchmark for fire safety regulations, the FDNY rigorously evaluates new technologies to protect public safety. TELCLOUD’s devices enable seamless compatibility with legacy equipment, including fire alarms, elevator phones, and security systems, while integrating modern features such as voice, enhanced monitoring, and proactive maintenance to support digital transformation.

“This FDNY stamp of approval is a gamechanger for TELCLOUD and our customers,” said Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD. ” TELCLOUD isn’t just POTS replacement—it’s a carrier grade, forward-thinking MFVN platform that empowers organizations to cut costs on legacy infrastructure, embrace cloud-based innovations, and maintain the highest levels of reliability for life-critical applications. We’re proud to offer a solution that aligns with regulatory demands while driving efficiency and scalability.”

Building on this milestone, TELCLOUD continues to expand its suite of global, carrier grade communication offerings. Earlier approvals from regulatory bodies, such as the California Office of the State Fire Marshal, further validate TELCLOUD as a trusted alternative across jurisdictions.
