Still Relying on PSTN? Your System Has an Expiry Date.
For many central monitoring stations and security service providers, the pressure to evolve has never been greater. The looming PSTN switch-off is more than a technical shift, it’s a wake-up call. Legacy analogue systems are becoming obsolete, and the time to act is now.
The Countdown Has Begun – Key PSTN Switch-Off Dates:
As a global shift accelerates, PSTN switch-offs are underway in multiple regions, and it’s critical for monitoring stations to stay ahead:
- United Kingdom: Recommendation for switch-off by December 2025, with full cut-off planned for January 2027
- Germany: Gradual phase-out already underway, with full migration expected by end of 2024
- France: Completion targeted by 2026
- Other EU countries: Following similar timelines based on local telecom policies
- United States: While there is no single federal mandate, major telecom providers are independently phasing out legacy PSTN/analog systems, with many regions already experiencing shutdowns and reduced support.
The shift to IP-based communications is happening globally, and it’s no longer a question of if, but when.
These changes will render thousands of legacy systems incompatible and unsupported. For businesses still operating on outdated infrastructure, the cost of inaction is growing by the day.
Why This Matters to You
The switch-off will impact:
- Alarm signaling systems
- Monitoring connectivity
- Emergency and critical infrastructure communications
If you’re relying on analogue lines, you’re facing:
- Increased downtime and service instability
- Higher maintenance costs
- Reduced compatibility with new technologies
Common Pain Points & Resistance to Change
We understand the hesitation:
- “Our current system still works fine.”
- “We don’t have the budget for a full upgrade.”
- “Changing systems feels risky and complex.”
But here’s the truth: maintaining outdated systems is more costly and risky in the long run.
Why Now is the Time to Transition
- Continuity and reliability: Avoid disruptions during the transition period
- Security compliance: Stay ahead of evolving regulations
- Future-proofing: Ensure your infrastructure can support modern, scalable solutions
- Operational resilience: Don’t wait for a critical failure to take action
