Hello! The reason is that fax doesn’t rely exclusively on broadband internet. Traditional fax works over phone lines, and modern digital fax often uses more resilient channels, meaning that even in emergencies or outages, communication can continue. That makes it invaluable in hospitals, government agencies, and disaster response.
This reliability is one of the reasons fax has survived when so many predicted it would disappear. It’s not just about “old tech” — it’s about having a dependable safety net when digital systems fail.
