CRITICAL LINE
GUIDE: POTS REPLACEMENT

First find every critical dependency. Then choose the right migration.

Critical Line starts with the question that matters before any equipment decision: which critical systems still depend on the lines you are about to change?

How Critical Line works.

DISCOVERY FIRST

First find every critical dependency. Then choose the right migration.

RIGHT-SIZE THE PORTFOLIO

Remove unnecessary lines, migrate the necessary ones, and know why each one exists.

COMPLIANCE, VERIFIED PER SITE

Determine the actual endpoint, jurisdiction and requirements before making a compliance claim.

EXPOSURE YOU CAN ACT ON

Know where the change is happening and whether your properties are exposed.

THE WHOLE PORTFOLIO

Manage the entire critical-line portfolio, including lines you have not migrated yet.

THE FULL LIFECYCLE

Discovery is the beginning. Assessment, carrier intelligence, migration and monitoring complete the lifecycle.

“Replacement” is one of four outcomes.

After Discovery and Assessment, each line gets a deliberate disposition. Many lines can simply be removed. Some belong on modern native services. Some critical legacy endpoints are best preserved on managed connectivity. That is Cline by Critical Line.

The point is that the disposition is chosen per line, per endpoint, per jurisdiction, never assumed.

DISPOSITION PER LINE
A
Remove: no longer supports anything
B
Migrate to a modern native service
C
Cline: managed connectivity, endpoint preserved
D
Coordinate an endpoint upgrade with your vendor

Start with what you have.

An address, a bill or a carrier notice. Any of the three works.
