More about the PSTN Switch off

What’s changing?

Traditional landline phone services are transitioning to digital VoIP technology requiring users to connect their phones via an internet connection. Old copper wire will be replaced with a modern fibre optic infrastructure.

Why?

Internet calls, video conferencing, and other online collaborative tools have far exceeded the capabilities of PSTN, and it is becoming old and increasingly difficult to maintain.

The next steps?

Contact Communications South to learn more about the changes coming and the best options suited to your business to begin the transition process.

Has the provider informed you about the upcoming BT Switch Off and checked the new solution is IP compliant? Price and reputation should also be considered.

It is also important to consider your support options after the installation of the solution, if your services were to go down it’s vital to have a team available to offer support and advice to get you back up and running.

Contact our dedicated team at Communications South for guidance to take you through the steps to ensure you select a suitable VoIP service and your internet connection is adequate.

What is the difference between PSTN and ISDN?

PSTN is a traditional analog telephone network whereas ISDN (integrated Services Digital Network) is a digital network that can transmit voice, video and data over traditional phone lines. Both are being phased out in favour of IP-based solutions.

What VoIP stands for?

VoIP stands for the Voice over Internet Protocol. It allows you to make voice calls using a broadband internet connection instead of a regular phone line. VoIP converts your voice into data packets and transmits them over the internet.

Consider factors such as reliability, customer service, pricing and reputation.

Can I use my existing telephone handsets with VoIP?

In many cases, you can use your existing equipment with VoIP by upgrading your existing system or by using an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) that connects to your internet router.

Our team can do an availability check and see what broadband is available at your premises, give us a call or use our contact form.
