Plan now for the changes to your operations that will come from the ISDN and PSTN switch off.

Like Making Tax Digital and the changes to GDPR, the imminent ISDN Switch is something that businesses owners recognise to be a pressing issue but they might not have gotten around to dealing with it head-on. We would strongly advise you to address it now, so you have time to plan the inevitable changes to your operations and enjoy a smooth transition.

Here’s what you need to know about the ISDN and PSTN switch off.
The switch off will happen in 2025 and it will bring about a huge shift in the way people and businesses make phone calls in the UK. The switch-off sees outdated technology that is struggling to cope with the volume of data we are using, being replaced by VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). VoIP allows voice calls to be made over the internet, using newer technologies and a cloud-based system that is scalable and flexible for remote working.
It is important that you get guidance from a specialist telephony provider when deciding how to proceed with VoIP, how the set-up should be managed, how many phone lines you will need, how to port your numbers, etc.
We are finding that many of our clients are opting for SoGEA broadband (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access) which means they only need to place one order for their broadband data service. SoGEA uses the existing fibre or copper network, making it available to more than 90 percent of premises across the UK. Traditional phone line installation is not needed with SoGEA so costs are lower, and SoGEA delivers the same performance and data rates as FTTC broadband, it uses the same infrastructure, and it has the same geographic availability.
Migration of services is picking up pace since notice has been served on more than a hundred phone exchanges across the country, so don’t leave it too long to get your telephony in order. Call us for tailored support for your business: 0800 240000.
