SUMMARY:Care Webinar - The Digital Switchover - Update and Guidance
DESCRIPTION:\n\nIn 2015\, BT announced the phased shutdown of ISDN (Integra
 ted Services Digital Network) and PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network)
  services. This means that traditional landline connections will be discon
 tinued\, and all voice calls will need to be made over the internet (IP-ba
 sed) in the future.\nIt is crucial for care homes to prepare in advance by
  ensuring they have a reliable broadband and telephony service in place. T
 his will provide the necessary speed\, bandwidth\, and scalability to supp
 ort daily operations seamlessly.\nAdditionally\, any systems currently con
 nected to a phone line—such as intruder and lift alarms\, telecare syste
 ms\, Emergency Red Phones\, EPOS machines\, CCTV\, or even some half-hourl
 y electricity meters—will also stop functioning and must be upgraded to 
 digital alternatives.\n\nOur session will cover: \n\n 	Recent update anno
 uncements\n 	The switchover explained​\n 	Implications for your care hom
 e\n 	What is replacing this and the benefits​\n 	Ensuring you are prepar
 ed\n 	Questions from the care sector\n 	and much more\n\nPlease feel free 
 to forward our invitation over to any of your contacts who will benefit fr
 om this informative session.
