[ G ranite Telecommunications LLC, a $1.65 billion provider of commu- nication products and services to multilocation businesses and govern- ment agencies, announced the acquisi- tion of leading POTS replacement device manufacturer OBSM, LLC, d/b/a EPIK. The acquisition enables seamless solutions for entities seeking simplicity, consistency, reli- ability and savings for alarms, elevators, point-of-sale, voice and other business- critical specialty lines that rely on legacy TDM landlines. As incumbent carriers continue to reduce support for TDM networks, demand has grown for a reliable, low-cost alterna- tive suitable for critical specialty lines. Until recently, IP replacement products fell short of satisfying performance metrics, including dependable, secure technology to transmit emergency signals over wireless or alter- native wireline networks, the expertise to install it across diverse applications and a national footprint, and the ability to manage the entire solution. Granite can now compre- hensively address those needs. “Businesses are looking for an easy, cost-effective, single-source POTS replace- ment to improve reliability, enable consis- tency across geographies and capture savings,” explained Granite president and CEO Rob Hale. “By combining Granite’s one-stop network installation, service and support with EPIK’s patented technology, we can offer customers a technologically robust solution with turnkey implementation and complete management.” EPIK was one of the first to launch a wire- less POTS solution and has since become a recognized technology leader in this space. “We’re excited to become part of the Granite team and see real customer value in combining our breakthrough, patented EPIK technology with Granite’s proven leadership in delivery of TDM alternatives, execution of complex installations and excellence in customer service,” said Steve Olsen, presi- dent of EPIK. “With Granite’s size and backing, we can deliver the optimal technical solution to businesses stuck on inefficient legacy networks – the future is now,” added Kevan Moshayedi, EPIK’s founder and chief technology officer. With the acquisition EPIK, the Granite array of POTS alternative solutions offers nearly seamless substitution of existing voice lines for alarm, elevator, fax, point of sale, voice circuits and more; reliable analog access with broadband redundancy, dual SIMs and 24-hour battery backup capabilities; and as single point-of-contact and customized billing. The deal also means Granite can offer an efficient design and installation process throughout the United States for multilocation deployments; real-time monitoring to ensure continued performance, management and support; predictable monthly charges with measur- able cost savings for extended terms and continued support across multiple carrier and service partners.
