BT has recently announced a welcome extension to the deadline for the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) switch-off. The original date of December 2025 has been pushed back to January 2027, giving individuals and businesses an extra 13 months to transition to digital phone lines.
While this extension provides valuable time, it’s important to begin planning and making the switch sooner rather than later. The PSTN is being phased out in favour of more advanced digital networks, and relying on outdated technology could lead to communication disruptions and security vulnerabilities.
One key area to prioritise is the monitoring of your alarm systems. Updating these systems to be compatible with digital networks now ensures their continued functionality after the PSTN switch-off. This proactive step safeguards the fire safety and security of your property.
Regis Fire Protection, an MCG subsidiary, is here to help you navigate this transition smoothly. We can guide you through your options, answer your questions, and initiate the process of modernising your phone lines and alarm systems.
Don’t delay, contact Regis today to ensure a seamless transition to the new digital era and protect your property with the latest technology.
