Understanding the Big Switch Off
The "Big Switch Off" refers to the phased retirement of Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) lines, set to be completed by 31st January 2027. This transition to Internet Protocol (IP) based communication systems offers numerous benefits, including enhanced call quality, greater flexibility, and more efficient network management
Our Commitment
At CUComm, we understand that change can be challenging. We provide comprehensive support and guidance throughout this transition. We offer tailored solutions to help your business migrate smoothly from traditional phone systems to advanced IP-based communications
Seamless Migration
Our seamless migration services are designed to minimise disruption and ensure continuity of your business operations. We conduct thorough assessments of your current infrastructure, develop customised migration plans, and implement new systems with precision and care. Our goal is to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible
Training and Support
To ensure that your team is comfortable with the new systems, CUComm provides extensive training and support. We offer direct training sessions, user manuals, and ongoing technical support to address any questions or concerns. We are available to assist you at every step of the way
Future-Ready Solutions
Embracing IP-based communication systems opens the door to a range of innovative features and functionalities. CUComm is at the forefront of these advancements, offering future-ready UC solutions that enhance collaboration, improve efficiency, and drive business success. From unified messaging to advanced call routing, video conferencing and Contact Centres, our solutions are designed to meet the evolving needs of your business
The Big Switch Off will have several consequences, including:
Landlines will no longer be able to make or receive calls
Equipment that uses the PSTN, such as traditional phone systems, alarms, CCTV, and faxes, will stop working
Broadband may need to be upgraded
Organisations that do not adopt Internet-based communication technologies, will no longer be able to make calls or use services that rely on an analogue connection.
The extended deadline from 2025 for the "Big Switch Off" provides time for businesses time to plan strategically to ensure a smooth transition to digital technologies. However, businesses may not have all this time to migrate. Due to the resumption of forced migration, users of PSTN technologies could lose access at any point before the deadline.
Businesses must evaluate their needs and begin migration now.
