What does the upcoming ISDN switch off mean for my business?
The ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) switch off refers to the phase-out of traditional copper-based ISDN phone lines in favour of internet-based alternatives. This ‘switch off’ has already started in many countries and will continue to occur globally in the coming years.
The switch off of ISDN may have some implications, depending on their current phone system setup. If your business currently uses ISDN for voice calls, you will need to consider switching to an alternative phone system before the switch off date in your area.
The most common alternative to ISDN is Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which uses the internet to make and receive phone calls. VoIP has many advantages over traditional ISDN, including lower costs, greater flexibility, and better scalability. However, switching to VoIP can require some investment in new hardware and software, as well as potentially porting your phone number.
It is important to plan ahead and start the transition as early as possible to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted communication service for your business.
