Telecoms Providers in the UK are decommissioning their analogue services and are moving to fully digital networks. This means that analogue phone lines in residential and business premises are being replaced by digital equivalents.
Digital Switchover 2025 (also reffered to as the Analogue Switch-off or the PSTN Switch-off) is the UK-wide telephony transition from traditional copper telephone lines to digital, and is set to be completed by 2025. These changes have already started in many areas across the UK.
The switchover means that all phone calls will be made via digital systems rather than the traditional landline.
But there are other systems that also run on these traditional lines like lift systems, traffic lights, CCTV, telecare devices and more, so it's important to ensure these are switched over correctly. See below examples of some of the systems affected by the Switchover.
