Delayed digital switch-off allows businesses to switch on with digital communications providers , says Espria
BT Group recently announced that the date for the Public Switched Telephone Network ( PSTN ) switch-off has been pushed back to the January 31 , 2027 . This extended deadline aims to give more time for vulnerable consumers to migrate to VoIP landlines before their older networks become obsolete . Previously , BT had planned to shift customers by the end of 2025 .
However , the telco-industry giant has now stated that the 2027 deadline will come ahead of a complete shutdown of analogue systems by the close of 2027 . Whilst the shift promises faster services , managing customer migrations , including the necessary customer provisions , is critically important and is still required for thousands of consumers and businesses across the UK .
Andy Fung , Solutions Architect at Espria , believes that this extension is something many businesses still behind on their digital switch will appreciate . However , Fung cautions that urgent measures need to be taken in the present and not in the future .
