Developed with Albion Ventures and 10T Solutions, new Managed Specialty Lines offering gives service providers a clear upgrade path for modernizing their customers’ business-critical communications
Alianza Inc. introduced Managed Specialty Lines, a new, fully managed, end-to-end, cloud-based plain old telephone service (POTS) replacement solution for service providers. With Managed Specialty Lines, communication service providers can quickly and efficiently address the expansive market opportunity to replace obsolete copper POTS lines with a proven carrier-grade VoIP solution to support their customers’ business-critical communications needs backed by an industry-leading technology consortium.
In 2017, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gave the go-ahead to telecom providers to sunset their wholesale POTS lines in the United States. With many business-critical and life safety systems today still running on degrading copper POTS lines, businesses are looking to their communication service providers to find and deploy an alternative, modern cloud solution.

Developed with managed services partner Albion Ventures and solutions partner 10T Solutions, Alianza’s Managed Specialty Lines is a fully-managed solution with best-of-breed components. Managed Specialty Lines gives service providers a managed facilities-based voice network (MFVN) to support critical applications including blue light phones, elevator phones, fire alarms, burglar alarms, point-of-sale terminals, security gates, utility meters, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, and more.
Managed Specialty Lines features:
- Innovative Cloud Platform: The Alianza Cloud Communications Platform delivers carrier-class high availability, provisioning, and fully automated carrier service management.
- Leading-Edge Customer Premises Equipment (CPE): All CPE is provided by Albion Ventures including an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a specialized 10T Solutions Gateway, and a 10T Solutions LTE router with an optional 5G router upgrade, to seamlessly connect with the best signals across multiple wireless providers and provide always-on primary or backup wireless connectivity.
- “No Worry” Installation: Professional on-premises installation, project management, and coordination with local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) and specialty vendors, including site surveys, radio frequency (RF) engineering, and CPE provisioning.
- Comprehensive Monitoring and Management: Critical systems and devices are monitored 24/7 by Albion Ventures for incident, problem, and event management. Proactive notifications, hardware replacement, and technical support are included.
Because Alianza’s voice technology is in the cloud, and the CPE is fully managed, no additional resources are required by the service provider to deploy and scale this solution. Businesses connected with this new solution benefit from a lower-cost, future-proof, and compliant network connection for their communications.
