Most companies will need to move before the final switch
off in January 2027. Here’s what you need to know.
The PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network), which has been integral to our communications for decades, is due to be switched off. PSTN underpins traditional analogue phone lines, FTTC, ISDN and ADSL.
This has the knock-on effect that many services will stop working that still use these technologies including CCTV, door entry systems, EPOS (electronic point of sale) machines, fax machines and more.
All services after the switch off will need to work over IP.
January 2027 is the final date when the PSTN will be retired. However, that does not mean businesses have that long to migrate. Forced migration has resumed, so users of these technologies could lose access at any point before the deadline.
As such it’s vital that businesses evaluate their needs and begin migration now. Read more.
Late last year sales of services that use the PSTN ended. It’s now no longer possible to buy services that will be affected by the switch off such as ADSL, or those that aren’t fully fibre such as FTTC.
There are various alternatives to traditional PSTN services including:
With the change triggered by the PSTN switch off, now is the perfect time to take stock of the systems you have and the best connectivity requirements for now and the future.
With the PSTN switchover planned to take place over the next couple of years, when is the best time for you to begin your migration?
The answer is simple: right now.
A forced switchover could affect your company at any time as the deadline nears.
