2022 is racing by and we find ourselves a step closer to the 2025 switch off, the time when the old telephone network switches over to an updated digital option.
In September 2023 Openreach will stop selling the lines that we’ve used for years and will only supply digital services.
This may be a straightforward switch for residential users but for businesses it will require more consideration, especially if you use your phone lines for other needs such as alarms or card machines.
Now is the time to prepare, do some research and find out what this means for you and your business.
We recommend allocating a member of staff to take on the task of gathering the necessary information. This will help you start the project in a positive way and avoid the likeliness of being talked in to buying something you don’t need.
It’s not about buying some new hardware, you’ll need to make sure your infrastructure is fit for purpose too. The changes are a perfect opportunity to bring your company into the 21st century.
As with many things, preparation is key so the time to start the ball rolling is now.
