Is your business ready for the ISDN/PSTN Switch Off?
In 2025, the older ISDN and PSTN systems will be switched off, leaving businesses that are still using these older systems at that time without a functioning service. This means that now is the time to start thinking about updating your business phone system to a more modern solution. If you’re unsure what the ISDN switch off is and how it affects your business, keep reading as we explain everything you need to know.
What is the ISDN/PSTN Switch Off?
The ISDN/PSTN switch off marks the phasing out of traditional telephone networks in favour of more advanced and efficient technologies, primarily driven by the rise of IP-based communication solutions. As of 2025, BT Openreach plans to retire these outdated networks, making way for more reliable and versatile alternatives.
What Does it Mean for Your Business?
The transition signifies the end of conventional telephony services, pushing businesses to embrace modern, digital communication platforms. Failure to adapt may result in operational disruptions and loss of connectivity. That being said, this shift presents an opportunity to enhance communication capabilities, improve efficiency, and future-proof your business.
When is the ISDN Switch Off Happening?
The deadline for the ISDN switch off is set for 2025, but proactive preparation is key. Beginning the transition sooner ensures a smoother migration, preventing last-minute complications and potential downtime.
What Will Happen to Current ISDN/PSTN Infrastructure?
With the switch off, traditional phone lines and equipment will become obsolete. It’s crucial to assess your current setup and plan for the adoption of modern alternatives to maintain uninterrupted communication services.
