Fast forward into the 21st century and sales of ISDN have been in steady decline for years as businesses find new and more innovative ways of deploying their business communications. During this period, an extensive IP (Internet Protocol) network has been built which runs alongside the old Public Telephone Network – and about time, since this has been in place since the 1800’s! It therefore comes as no real surprise that BT has announced the run down and eventual switch off of their ISDN service which so many businesses are still using today.
What are the timescales?
In 2020 orders of ISDN will no longer be possible, and in 2025 Openreach will effectively cease ISDN services which means that if you have one of the existing 2.5 million ISDN services currently running, your business needs to take time to plan a migration.
