POTS IN A BOX® 90X1
Eight analog lines on a 5G Sub-6 path with a 48-hour battery — the model we deploy when the site has 5G coverage and life-safety endpoints on the line.
- 8 FXS lines
- 5G Sub-6 (NSA + SA)
- 48 hr battery
- FCC grant held by DataRemote
At a glance.
The POTS IN A BOX® platform terminates real analog lines on real FXS ports, then carries them over a managed cellular path with code-relevant battery backup. It is a purpose-built line-replacement platform, not a consumer cellular adapter with an RJ-11 jack on it.
Best fitSites with 5G coverage carrying fire, elevator or emergency endpoints.

The lines that come off copper.
These are the endpoints still hanging on a dial tone. Each one terminates on an FXS port and rides the managed cellular path instead.
- Elevator emergency phones
- Fire alarm panels
- Burglar and intrusion alarms
- Fax machines
- POS terminals and ATMs
- Emergency call boxes
- Gate entry and callbox systems
- M2M and SCADA links
- Telemetry and remote sensors
- Utility meter reading
It behaves like a line, because it is one.
Ring-down, CPC and echo cancellation are what make an elevator phone and a fire panel work on this path rather than merely connect to it.
- Ring-down (auto-dial)
- DTMF, in-band and out-of-band
- G.711 and G.729 codecs
- G.168 echo cancellation
- CPC (Calling Party Control)
- E911 with GNSS geo-location
- TTY / TRS support
- Caller ID and CWCID
- 3-way conference
- Hold, forward, transfer, waiting

Every number below is a real, verifiable listing. An AHJ will ask for them, so we publish them rather than describing the unit as "certified" and leaving you to find out.

The 90X1 is aligned with UL 864 and NFPA 72 requirements for fire alarm signal transmission. NFPA 72 is a code that applies to the installed system — it is not a product certification, and no device is "NFPA 72 certified." Whether a given installation satisfies it is determined by the authority having jurisdiction at the site.

Network layer
The device credentials above cover the equipment. The service obligations — E911 address association and dispatchable location, 911-call notification to designated contacts, and Kari’s Law and RAY BAUM’S Act support — are met on the MIX Networks voice network that carries the line. See how the three layers fit together.
Managed remotely, through Ara.
Every unit we deploy is enrolled in Ara, DataRemote's cloud management platform, and monitored by our NOC. Line-state changes raise an alert before the customer notices, and most faults are diagnosed without a site visit.
