The PSTN switch-off is the planned phase-out of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) in the UK, which has been in use for over a century. The switch-off means that traditional landline phone services will be replaced by Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. This change will have a significant impact on UK businesses that rely on traditional phone systems, as they will need to transition to VoIP in order to continue making and receiving phone calls.
To make a phone call over fibre internet, businesses will need to use a VoIP service provider. VoIP phone systems allow businesses to make phone calls using an internet connection rather than a traditional phone line. VoIP technology is often more cost-effective than traditional phone systems, as it allows businesses to make international and long-distance calls at lower rates. VoIP systems can also offer advanced features such as call recording, call routing, and voicemail-to-email.
To make a phone call using a VoIP system, businesses will need a VoIP phone or softphone software installed on their computer or mobile device. They will also need to have a stable internet connection with sufficient bandwidth to support the VoIP call. Once the software is installed, users can simply dial the phone number as they would with a traditional phone.
In summary, the PSTN switch-off means that UK businesses will need to transition to VoIP phone systems to continue making and receiving phone calls. VoIP systems offer cost savings and advanced features, and calls are made over the Internet rather than a traditional phone line.

VOICE FOR THE FUTURE
The traditional copper wire network is being replaced by a fiber-line-based network, offering speed, resilience, and low-maintenance benefits to both consumers and businesses across the UK.
FIBRE CONNECTIVITY AS THE BACKBONE
For numerous years, the internet has been established by incorporating a data layer onto a voice line. However, with fiber, this paradigm shifts as the fiber line takes precedence as the primary connection to the premises, and voice-over-internet (VoIP) becomes the overlay service on the data line.
