The UK’s Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) will be fully switched off by 31st January 2027. As a business customer, we strongly encourage you to transition to IP by December 2025, well in advance of the 2027 deadline. This is to provide enough time to keep your operations secure, resilient, and future-ready.

To support you with this transition, we’re excited to announce that our All-IP webinars are now live. We encourage you to select the webinar most relevant to your sector:

• Critical National Infrastructure

• Healthcare

• Local Government

Hosted by our All-IP Director, Steve Blackshaw, and joined by a panel of BT experts, each webinar will explore the journey from analogue to digital and emphasise the critical need for your organisation to migrate at pace. The sessions will cover:

• What’s changing and why: Understand why we’re transitioning from analogue to digital and clear up the switch-off date change.

• Sector-specific use cases: From essential medical telemetry in healthcare to public service connectivity in local government, discover the devices impacted.

• The Review-Test-Switch initiative: By December 2025, ensure your organisation is fully prepared. Review your technology estate, test compatibility at our Adastral Park test labs, and switch to IP to keep your systems future-ready by filling in our Digital Services lab booking form.

Switching to IP opens up opportunities for scalability, flexibility, and long-term efficiency for your organisation. Your dedicated account manager and migration specialist are ready to support you through each step, so watch the appropriate webinar below and reach out to your Account Manager for further support.
