Navigating the BT Switch-Off
Set the revolutionise the way we connect, communicate and collaborate, the BT switch-off marks a significant turning point in the telecommunications industry and Unity is at the forefront, proactively supporting new and existing customers in navigating what this means for them.
Farewell to Traditional Telephony
BT, an iconic part of our lives for decades, has been the fabric of connectivity across homes, businesses, and communities. As of 5th September 2023, the BT switch-off prevents new orders for PSTN’s or ISDN’s, urging customers to embrace new technologies like VOIP, SOGEA and FTTP. We bid farewell to traditional copper-based networks (think iconic red phone booths), symbolising a shift towards modern, fibre-optic solutions and cloud-based telephony.
Embracing The Future
The transition to fibre-optic networks opens the door to a transformative communication experience. Fibre-optic technology, with its ability to transmit data using light signals, promises unparalleled speed and efficiency. This aligns with the UK’s commitment to a Full Fibre future, where ultrafast broadband becomes the backbone of our digital society. The BT switch-off encourages consumers and businesses to future-proof their communication needs and unlock opportunities for new services, remote work, digital innovation, and cost reduction.
