Keep patient emergency calling
connected when it matters most.
A resident or patient uses a familiar bedside phone. The care team receives the call through a path designed to survive an IP outage.
Why Healthcare and Senior Care Need POTS Replacement
Patient emergency calling depends on analog bedside phones and nurse station connectivity. When carriers retire copper, the call path must survive.
Copper Lines Being Retired
Healthcare facilities and senior care homes lose their analog bedside phone connection path when carriers retire copper lines.
Emergency Calling Path
Patients and residents use familiar bedside phones for emergency calling. The care team must receive the call even when IP is down.
PSTN/Cellular Backup
The care team receives the call through a path designed to survive an IP outage via PSTN or cellular backup.
How the Redstone Solution Works
The patient uses a familiar bedside analog phone. The Redstone gateway routes the call to the care team, with PSTN/cellular backup when IP is unavailable.
What Must Be Preserved
Healthcare emergency calling workflows have specific requirements that must continue to work after POTS replacement.
Real-World Scenario
See how the Redstone solution applies in a real deployment environment.
Designed for Your Environment
The Redstone gateway integrates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure. No device replacement, no workflow change — just a modernized connection path with reliable backup.
A Lower-Disruption Alternative
The right path depends on the facility, patient calling model, and the care team workflow.
Complete System Replacement
Rip-and-replace approach
- Replace all bedside phones
- New nurse station equipment
- Patient retraining on new devices
- Facility disruption during transition
- Higher upfront investment
Redstone POTS Replacement
Keep the phone. Replace the line.
- Use existing bedside analog phones
- No device modification needed
- PSTN/cellular backup when IP is down
- 911 emergency path preserved
- Lower cost, faster deployment
Validate the Emergency Calling Workflow
Acceptance should confirm the patient can reach the care team through both primary and backup paths.
The Continuous Value Path
POTS replacement is only the first step. The same platform can later support remote patient monitoring, care analytics, and unified communications.
Endpoint Reuse
Retain existing bedside phones
Replace only the connection path
Platform Upgrade
Connect IP communications
Multi-site centralized management
Smart Care
Remote patient monitoring
Care analytics and reporting
