The BT Switch Off 2027

Have you ever heard of the BT Switch Off, happening in 2027? Not many businesses have, and could be seriously caught out if it affects them.

The old analogue phone network (PSTN and ISDN lines) is being permanently switched off across the UK and replaced with digital technology. This means your traditional phone lines and broadband services that rely on copper networks will no longer work.

For businesses specifically, besides your desk phones, these are the things that may be at risk:

• Phone systems

• Broadband connections

• Card payment machines

• Alarm systems

• Door entry systems

• Lift emergency lines

• Fax machines

• CCTV and monitoring equipment

If any of these still rely on analogue lines, they could stop working after the switch off.

At Converj we’ve already helped our customers move across to modern digital solutions, ensuring services continue to run smoothly with improved reliability, flexibility and connectivity.

Here are just some of the benefits of digital phone systems:

✔ Better call quality

✔ Remote and hybrid working flexibility

✔ Lower maintenance costs

✔ Improved disaster recovery

✔ Easier scalability as your business grows

The analogue switch off is happening whether businesses are ready or not. The key is making sure you understand what services may be affected before it becomes a problem.
