🚨 IS YOUR BUSINESS STILL RELYING ON PSTN LINES? THE CLOCK IS TICKING.
The BT/Openreach PSTN network is due to close on 31 January 2027. With just over three months remaining, businesses need to act now to avoid disruption.
It’s more than your office phones. Lift emergency phones, fire and intruder alarm signalling, door entry systems, payment terminals and other connected equipment could still depend on an analogue line.
Business Enterprise IT is working with clients to analyse their PSTN circuits and project manage the migration of lines and connected hardware.
We can help with:
✅ Circuit audits and connected equipment identification
✅ Risk assessments and migration planning
✅ Replacement solution selection and supplier coordination
✅ Hardware upgrades, testing and managed changeovers
Potential solutions include:
📞 Cloud phone systems and VoIP
🔄 SIP trunking for compatible business phone systems
🌐 Full fibre or SoGEA broadband to replace legacy connectivity
📡 Suitable 4G/5G connectivity and backup services
🚨 IP or 4G alarm signalling and lift communication upgrades
🔋 Battery backup and resilience solutions
💳 IP or mobile-enabled payment terminals
Every solution must suit the equipment it supports, with specialist supplier checks and testing for safety-critical systems.
Don’t leave your migration until the last minute.
📩 Contact Business Enterprise IT for a no-obligation discussion about your PSTN dependencies, migration options and any applicable compliance requirements.
DM us “PSTN” to get started.
