By 2030, many telecom providers worldwide will have fully retired legacy copper line (PSTN) infrastructure.
The UK has already announced its national switch-off by 2025, and providers in Canada and the U.S. are following suit.
This shift marks the end of analog telephony as we know it.
If your business is still relying on:
- Desk phones tied to local wiring
- On-premise PBX systems
- Non-digital voicemail systems
You’re likely facing:
- Growing support issues
- Higher maintenance costs
- Incompatibility with hybrid or remote work
- Limited ability to scale or relocate users
What we’re seeing in the field:
A law firm we recently worked with had offices in two cities and used a legacy PBX system. Moving employees or opening a new branch meant weeks of coordination, tech visits, and wiring work.
We helped them transition to a cloud-based VoIP platform. The results?
- User setup time dropped from days to minutes
- Inter-office transfers became seamless
- Clients experienced faster, more consistent call routing
- Maintenance costs went down to zero
Key takeaway:
If your communication system still depends on analog lines, it’s not just outdated — it’s approaching obsolescence.
The future of telephony is cloud-native, flexible, and designed to support wherever your team works next.
