SAN ANTONIO,March 11,2025 -- Frost & Sullivanrecently researched the plain old telephone service (POTS) replacement industry and,based on its findings,recognizes Oomawith the 2025 North American Competitive Strategy Leadership Award. The company's flagship Ooma AirDial solution provides businesses with a seamless,secure,and cost-effective alternative to legacy POTS lines,helping organizations transition to next-generation connectivity without compromising reliability or compliance.

Ooma AirDialis designed to bridge the gap between legacy infrastructure and contemporary communications,delivering businesses a streamlined,and future-proof POTS-replacement solution.
