FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Broadcast Bionics has an exciting new answer for broadcasters facing the challenge of rising POTS line costs.
CallerOne allows stations to move to affordable SIP lines with minimal investment. New support for existing call control
hardware including the popular Telos VSet and console call controllers allows broadcasters to benefit from lower line
costs while retaining their current call handling workflow.

In August 2022, the FCC removed requirements for ILECs to offer analog POTS lines at competitive rates. By October
2023, all remaining cost obligations were lifted. This spurred carriers to plan the decommissioning of outdated lines,
aiming to end all PSTN lines by 2030.

Broadcasters who rely on POTS lines for their talkshow systems will be facing hefty price hikes, if not now, then very
soon. But transitioning to SIP can be daunting, and what about those trusted VSets your talent loves? Thankfully there is now a simple and affordable solution.

At the heart of CallerOne is a sleek, user-friendly interface that empowers on-air talent, call screeners, and producers to
effortlessly manage calls and ensure seamless content flow. Additional call screening positions can be set up with only a
browser and headset, and two on-air studios can share a single CallerOne system where needed. Broadcast Bionics innovative CallerOne software makes the transition to SIP painless, all while saving line costs, improving call quality, and opening the door to all digital has to offer.

"CallerOne’s recent integration with Telos VSet allows stations to keep using the hardware and workflows they are used
to, while at the same time transitioning to digital - we expect this to be an extremely popular solution!” says Matt Collison, Brand and Marketing Lead at Broadcast Bionics.

CallerOne with Telos VSet will be on demo at the Broadcast Bionics booth, C2030, at NAB 2024.
