Prepare for the BT Analogue Switch-Off with Clearfone
The world of telecommunications is on the brink of a significant transformation. The upcoming analogue switch-off is set to revolutionise how we connect. By 2025, the UK will transition from analogue to digital landlines, marking the end of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and the beginning of a new era of digital communication.
Why is the Switch happening?
Analogue networks have served us well for decades, but they are reaching the end of their serviceable life and it is no longer sustainable to maintain them. The switch to digital technology, such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), will provide clearer, better quality phone calls, and new features/benefits for businesses.
What this means for your business?
Your critical services could be impacted. The upcoming transition extends beyond telephony systems; any service reliant on the traditional PSTN network will be no longer function at the end of December 2025. It is essential for businesses to conduct a comprehensive review of all services to guarantee uninterrupted continuity post-switch. Take a look at some of the examples of services that traditionally depend on the PSTN network.
- Fire Alarms
- Intruder Alarms
- Lift lines
- Telecare services
- Epos machines
- Door entry systems
- CCTV
- PDQ Machines
- Telephony systems
- Fax machines
- Legacy broadband services (FTTC/ADSL)
