Fire alarm panels, burglar alarms, and other life-safety devices have relied on analog POTS lines for decades. Those lines are being retired — and where they remain, monthly rates keep climbing.
Fire alarm panels are required to reach a monitoring center, and for decades they’ve done it over a pair of analog POTS lines. Those lines are now being retired — and when the carrier disconnects them, the panel can lose its path to help without anyone flipping a switch.
Standard internet VoIP isn’t a drop-in replacement. Fire panels use specific tones and handshakes that consumer VoIP can garble, and a failed test signal can mean a fault, a fine, or a failed inspection.
For the building owner, a panel that can’t phone home isn’t just a technical gap — it’s a code violation and a liability the moment something goes wrong.

So instead of a compliance gap, you get
Simplifi Voicelink carries your fire panel’s signals over VoLTE — the carrier’s voice network, not the open internet — so it behaves like the analog line it replaces and reaches the monitoring center every time.
Your existing panel stays right where it is. The Voicelink Smart Adaptor connects behind it, so there’s no rip-and-replace and no re-engineering of a system that already works.
It’s built for the always-on requirements that govern life-safety devices, and every line is monitored in the Simplifi Cloud portal, so a fault gets noticed before an inspector finds it.
Any building with a monitored fire panel losing its copper lines is a fit for Voicelink.
Offices and mixed-use with monitored panels.
Residential fire systems that must stay monitored.
Campus buildings under strict fire code.
Large facilities with alarm and sprinkler monitoring.
Life-safety systems that cannot lapse.
