Your buildings still run on copper. We'll tell you straight which lines matter.
Elevator phones and fire alarm panels are the last things in most buildings still riding copper — and the carriers are retiring it. We audit what you actually have, tell you what's exposed, and handle the replacement. No cost for the audit either way.
Carriers don't announce copper retirement. They price it out.
A fire panel line that cost $60 becomes $180, then $300. It never arrives as a letter saying the network is going away — it arrives as a surcharge, a regulatory recovery fee, a rate restructure buried in a line item nobody reads.
On one building you might catch it. Across eight properties, spread over six pages and separate service addresses, nobody is adding it up. There's no one inside whose job that is.
Pull a bill from two years ago and one from last month. Compare the same line. If it moved, that's your notice — and it came before anything was filed with anyone.
A carrier can now put your lines on a sunset track with nothing more than a customer notification — no federal application. The public record still shows when they turn a service off for good. It doesn't show when they stopped caring about the line. Your bill does.
Three things, and we can do all three today.
Most buildings have telecom nobody has looked at in a decade. That's not neglect — there's no one inside whose job it is. That's ours.
Copper retirement
The carriers are turning off the copper network. Elevator emergency phones, fire alarm panels, fax, gate and callbox lines — anything still on a copper pair needs somewhere else to go before the line goes dark or the price triples.
- Line-by-line audit of what's actually on copper
- Life-safety lines identified and handled first
- Dead lines you're still paying for, found and cut
- UL 864 listed replacement, central-station verified at cutover
Building connectivity
Once we know what's in the building, the rest follows. Internet, voice, SD-WAN, wireless failover, camera and access-control connectivity — quoted across 200+ carriers instead of whoever called you first.
- Business internet — fiber, cable, fixed wireless
- Hosted phone systems and UCaaS
- Multi-site SD-WAN and failover
- Access control and camera connectivity
Compliance watch
Codes change and nobody sends you a letter. We track what's coming for the buildings you own — FCC copper retirement filings, fire and elevator code adoptions by state, and what your AHJ actually enforces.
- FCC Section 214 retirement filings, tracked by service area
- Fire alarm and elevator code adoptions by state
- What's changing, and when it reaches you
Access to 200+ providers, and no reason to steer you.
Authorized Telarus partner. We're paid by whichever supplier you choose, at rates we don't set — which is the reason we can tell you when the answer is "stay where you are."
A sample of the suppliers reachable through Telarus. Naming a carrier here is not an endorsement of it for your building — that comes out of the audit. Logos are the property of their respective owners.
Four steps. Zero pressure.

One recent telecom bill per property. PDF, photo, or screenshot. That's the whole ask.
We audit it line by line
We identify what each line does, flag anything life-safety, find what's dead, and benchmark what's live.
You get a straight answer
What's exposed, what it costs to fix, and what happens if you do nothing. In writing, yours to keep either way.
We handle the change
Survey, install scheduling, alarm verification before any copper is cut, and we stay on the account as your single point of contact for the life of the contract.
