If your business still relies on traditional phone lines, waiting until 2027 isn’t a strategy—it’s a risk.
The UK’s analogue copper network is being switched off, meaning thousands of businesses will need to move to IP-based services before the deadline arrives.
What many organisations don’t realise is that this isn’t just about replacing desk phones.
Any equipment using a traditional phone line could be impacted, including:
📞 Business phone systems
🌐 Broadband connections
💳 Card payment terminals
📹 CCTV and security systems
🚨 Fire and intruder alarms
🛗 Lift emergency phones
🚪 Door entry and access control systems
📠 Legacy analogue devices
Leaving it too late could lead to:
⚠ Service interruptions
⚠ Higher migration costs
⚠ Limited installation availability
⚠ Unplanned business disruption
The businesses that act early won’t just avoid these issues—they’ll gain the benefits of modern communications.
Moving to digital solutions such as VoIP, SIP Trunking and Full Fibre can deliver:
✅ Faster, more reliable connectivity
✅ Better support for hybrid and remote working
✅ Lower ongoing maintenance costs
✅ Greater flexibility as your business grows
✅ A communications platform built for the future
At Pen Telecom, we help businesses make the transition with confidence.
From reviewing your current infrastructure to designing and delivering a tailored migration plan, we ensure your move away from the copper network is straightforward, efficient and causes as little disruption as possible.
Don’t leave your migration until the last minute.
