What is Voice Over Broadband
The term VoIP may well be more familiar to you. Voice over Broadband is a term that directly relates to telephone calls, or voice services, being carried over your broadband internet connection.
Why Is This Important
We have written about the announcement BT made, in 2015, to turn off the PSTN and ISDN networks by 2025. Ofcom are starting to communicate this further and in February 2019 announced the launch of a steering group to support the migration to VoIP. To accompany this announcement Ofcom have published a policy positioning statement on “The Future of Fixed Telephone Services” that we can provide for you if required.
If you use a telephone service that is connected to either one of these networks, you need to be aware of what changes will take place by the end of 2025.
Will you need to Upgrade your Telephone System?
With around 70% of the business telephone market still using ISDN you will need to make some changes. At the very least a conversation with a RGC would be advised so that you can find out what your current situation is.
You don’t have to act straight away but moving to Voice over Broadband sooner rather than later could benefit your business immediately. It will certainly remove any need to change in a rush as the deadline for turning off these legacy networks gets closer.
