A Practical Guide to Becoming 2027 Ready

April 1, 2026

The UK’s telecoms network is changing. 

By 2027, traditional analogue lines (PSTN/ISDN) will be switched off, impacting lifts, alarms, entry systems, and general connectivity. 

What Does “2027 Ready” Mean? 

Being 2027 ready means: 

  • All analogue lines identified and replaced 
  • Lift lines upgraded to compliant solutions 
  • Alarms, entry systems, and plant connections reviewed 
  • Internet connectivity assessed and where needed improved 
  • A clear plan moving forward, not reactive fixes 

Why Acting Early Matters 

Waiting can lead to: 

  • Limited engineer availability 
  • Increased costs as demand rises 
  • Disruption across your business 
  • Compliance risks on critical systems 

A planned approach allows upgrades to be scheduled around your operational needs. 

Where We Help 

  • Portfolio audits – identifying affected services 
  • Prioritisation plans – what needs doing first and why 
  • Solution design – practical, cost-effective upgrades 
  • Project delivery – working alongside your team
  • Ongoing support – ensuring everything stays compliant 

Our Difference 

Many providers walk away from complex sites. 

We don’t. 

We specialise in resolving tricky scenarios that don’t fit neatly into a standard solution. 

Sometimes that leads to a full upgrade. Sometimes it’s simply helping you understand what needs to be done. 

Not Sure Where to Start? 

We offer a free 30-minute consultation to help understand your current position and next steps.
