Prepare for the PSTN switch off

Are you ready for the biggest change impacting the public sector?
We’re all familiar with the copper wire telephone network. Having been patented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876, it’s kept business communications going for years. But that’s all about to change…

In 2025, the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) will be switched off by BT Openreach, meaning that everyone, including businesses and organisations, will have to find alternatives to PSTN-based services and find new ways to communicate.

The alternative? Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), a solution that transmits voice calls over an internet connection.

Why should the public sector switch to VoIP?

In 2013, the UK government adopted a ‘Cloud First’ policy, which urged organisations in the public sector to evaluate cloud-based solutions before any other solution. As the government works hard to digitally transform the public sector, cloud-based VoIP systems are standing by to make this a reality.

VoIP is far more cost-effective compared to traditional phone lines. They are easy to scale, meaning that its capabilities grow as your organisation expands, while seamlessly enabling the widespread adoption of hybrid and remote working models. The versatility of VoIP solutions means that users can multitask, increasing the daily efficiency and productivity of employees.

Let Gamma help your organisation to embrace the future of telephony by replacing your landline with VoIP before PSTN is switched off in 2025.
