MetTel is deploying its POTS Transformation platform to replace aging copper landlines nationwide, targeting public and private sectors. The technology, based on DataRemote's POTS in a Box, aims to provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional systems.

The U.S. Postal Service has already installed over 17,000 units. MetTel secured a $54 million contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs to modernize about 15,000 landlines at 1,875 sites, reducing communication costs by up to 30%.

Meanwhile, Leidos has obtained a $454.9 million contract to enhance the U.S. Air Force's Cloud One platform, partnering with AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle to improve security and streamline operations over a five-year period.
