The technology behind PSTN is outdated, becoming increasingly costly and inefficient to maintain. Digital technologies, such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and fibre broadband, offer more flexibility, better voice quality, and other services that traditional lines cannot support.
A fully-digital infrastructure holds a range of advantages over PSTN, making it easier for telecoms providers to offer a broader range of services and ensuring that the network is future-proofed.
It is essential that housing providers assess their current systems and move to digital platforms. Vital devices such as telephones, alarms, CCTV cameras, lift lines and more are reliant on PSTN and will be disconnected following the switch-off.
Many providers still rely on ISDN for their voice services, which will need to be replaced or upgraded to IP-based solutions. Residents will need to switch to newer, digital-first services. Most consumers will transition to VoIP services or similar alternatives.
