What is Wireless Phone Service?
POPP’s Wireless Phone Service is a specialized telephone service designed for life safety systems that must remain operational even when normal communications services fail.
Unlike traditional copper POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines, Wireless Phone Service uses modern Voice over IP (VoIP) technology combined with cellular connectivity and integrated battery backup to provide a highly resilient communications path.

Wireless Phone Service is commonly used for:
- Fire alarm monitoring systems
- Elevator emergency telephones
- Security and access control systems
- Area of refuge phones
- Emergency call stations
- Other mission-critical communications devices
The result is a modern replacement for aging copper phone lines while maintaining the reliability required by life safety applications.

What Happens During a Power Outage?
POPP Wireless Phone Service equipment includes integrated battery backup capable of providing at least 8 hours of standby operation.
This exceeds the 4-hour requirement commonly associated with elevator emergency phones and meets the standby requirements commonly associated with fire alarm communications systems.
Even during a local power outage, connected life safety systems can continue communicating through the safety line equipment.
Code Compliance and Standards
POPP Wireless Phone Service is designed for fire alarm and elevator applications.
Because local requirements can vary, clients are responsible to consult their fire marshal, AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction), elevator contractor, or life safety professional regarding specific code requirements applicable to their facility.
