We recognise some customers may not be able to upgrade to an All-IP solution in time for the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) switch-off. You may have edge use cases, or non-telephony devices, that rely on features of the analogue network, such as CCTV systems, alarm lines, lift lines, emergency lines, Telecare devices, payment lines and terminals, door entry systems and telemetry devices. 

Pre-Digital Phone Line (PDPL) is a temporary solution that enables you to keep legacy handsets and equipment while moving off the PSTN. You should still migrate to All-IP solutions wherever possible.

It’s vital that you test any devices with this solution, and to do that you can register using this form. Our test labs are at Adastral Park near Ipswich.
