ALL IP transition and the PSTN switch-off Industry Survey

Friday 18 August 2023 -

The BSIA PSTN Switch-off Survey...

The PSTN switch-off by December 2025 is a milestone event for the security & fire industries, having a tangible negative impact on legacy PSTN-connected signalling devices. Our key drive is to raise awareness of the transition to an ALL IP environment, and to that end, we have initiated a short survey to all installers and ARCs to gather a ‘picture’ of the current state of migrations of the PSTN network, along with the challenges faced by industry practitioners. Please can we encourage you to share your information in the interest of the professional security industry – we are stronger together!

We'd love to hear your thoughts...

The survey will take less than a couple of minutes to complete and can be accessed here.

All responses will be collated by the BSIA technical team, anonymised, and used solely as an industry-wide report. No individual company submissions will be shared with other security industry companies.

This communication is part of a wider campaign driven by the BSIA to raise awareness of the ALL IP transition to its members, the wider industry stakeholders, and those organisations that influence the change in the telecommunications sector. The goal is to ultimately educate the end-user on the changes and the impact this is likely to have on their installed alarm systems. Please look out for further important communications on this subject.

We look forward to receiving your survey response. If you need any further support or have any questions on the above, please do not hesitate to contact the BSIA technical team at [email protected].
