What does the PSTN & ISDN switch-off mean for business?
All products and services relying on PSTN and ISDN lines will become obsolete – including huge numbers of traditional phone systems. This impacts non-voice services too, such as broadband lines including FTTC and ADSL. All these copper connectivity types will be withdrawn. It’s also worth noting that devices such as alarms, EPOS machines, door entry systems, CCTV, and faxes that use the old phone network system will no longer be operational.
It’s a lot to take in, but you can make your transition easy and stress-free with Ericsson-LG’s iPECS phone system. It centralises your business communications and provides valuable business tools, which we’ll discuss later.
It’s also completely internet-based – which makes it futureproof for the new, post-switch-off era in telecoms.
How do I prepare my business for the switch-off?

-

-
Check with an expert which products will be affected
-
Consider the needs of your team and business when choosing an alternative solution
