PSTN Switch Off

Preparing your business for the 2027 transition.

The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) switch-off, initially set for December 2025, has been rescheduled to January 2027. This provides organisations additional time to adapt to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions.

The transition impacts more than just traditional telephone lines; all systems relying on PSTN including alarms, payment terminals, and monitoring devices also require updates.

How Dataquest helps your business navigate the transition

Adapting to the PSTN switch-off requires more than just replacing outdated systems – to fully adjust, it demands a strategic plan to coordinate all affected systems and processes. Our consultants guide organisations through this transition with minimal disruption to their operations.

We begin with a comprehensive audit of your infrastructure to identify every area impacted by the switch-off. Based on our findings, we deliver tailored recommendations to modernise your infrastructure, whether it involves migrating to VoIP, upgrading hardware, or integrating new digital solutions.

Our team oversees the transition right through from planning to implementation, ensuring a seamless migration with minimal downtime. We also provide ongoing support to keep your systems running smoothly and efficiently post-implementation.
