Preparing for the Digital Switchover
In 2015, BT announced the phased shutdown of ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) and PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) services. This means that traditional landline connections will be discontinued, and all voice calls will need to be made over the internet (IP-based) from January 2027.
The UK’s digital switchover is fast approaching, and for organisations of all shapes and sizes, now is the time to prepare. Join Orbital Net for an essential webinar designed to help businesses across all sectors understand what the switchover means, how it could impact your business, and what steps need to be taken to future-proof your connectivity.

Care Webinar – The Digital Switchover – Update and Guidance
The UK’s digital switchover is on the horizon and for the care sector, the clock is ticking. As BT Openreach phases out traditional analogue phone lines by 2027, care providers must begin transitioning to digital alternatives to ensure continuity, safety, and compliance across their services.
At Orbital Net, we understand how vital reliable connectivity is within care settings. That’s why we’re offering a free, informative webinar dedicated to helping care providers navigate the switchover with confidence.
