The necessity of a traditional landline for facsimile transmission is no longer absolute. Historically, sending and receiving faxes required a physical connection to a telephone network. This involved converting document data into audio signals that could be transmitted across the line, similar to a voice call.
Technological advancements have introduced alternatives that eliminate the reliance on dedicated phone lines. These advancements offer flexibility and potentially reduce costs associated with maintaining a traditional phone service. The shift away from mandatory landlines impacts accessibility and efficiency in document exchange.
