It's the end for ISDN

ISDN is in decline

It is common knowledge amongst telecommunications experts that ISDN is a dying technology. Indeed, BT intend to switch their ISDN network off entirely in 2025 and the general consensus is the technology will be as good as gone within five years, the number of ISDN channels used by UK businesses declined by 30%.

  • ISDN lacks the agility needed to meet the needs of today’s fast-moving consumers
  • The management of multiple offices can be time consuming, maintaining consistency of service across offices is often difficult
  • Scalability is slow and often expensive
  • ISDN-based telephony systems often require substantial capex investment
  • Disaster Recovery is slow
  • It can’t be combined with modern technologies like Ethernet to enhance voice services

Achieve Flexibility
With new business mobile devices you can take your work anywhere you need to, increasing your working capacities.

What to replace it with?

The future-ready solution is VoIP. VoIP is a ready-made replacement for ISDN, connecting a business’s PBX to the provider’s national network via broadband, ethernet or a private circuit.

VoIP emerged through a growing need for reliable, flexible and scalable communications technology that enables growing businesses to manage communications effectively in line with demand and is already prepared for voice and data convergence further down the line.
