What's happening?
Soon, the traditional phone network will be turned off and the switch for many businesses is already taking place. Soon every home and business will be connected to the faster, more responsive digital network. Be pro-active and upgrade your phone system to a VoIP (Cloud-based) solution, in time for the changes. The best part is we can plan and implement this for you!
A recent survey conducted by National Business Communications shown that 69.5% of UK businesses still use traditional landlines. A hold up is expected for those who leave the switch until the last minute. The industry may not be able to keep up with last minute orders, and you are at risk of being left without service.
Why is this happening?
Our technology demands in recent years have outgrown the ageing PSTN network, which is last century's technology. Today we rely on things like: smartphones, apps, cloud apps, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, smart devices and more.
Broadband reliability has also never been better, with fast speeds and close to zero downtime. It now makes sense to use this to power your phone system.

It will affect more than just phones
All technology in your business that utilises the old phone network will need to be taken into account. This includes things like: alarms, EPOS machines, door entry systems, CCTV systems and fax machines.
