Life after PSTN. Migrating Voice to Hyperoptic’s Static IP Fibre Before the Switch Off
Hyperoptic can guide your business through the transition by providing static IP fibre that makes VoIP and SIP trunking simple to deploy as the UK prepares to retire its copper network in December 2025.
Understanding the PSTN switch off
The public switched telephone network will sunset at the end of 2025 as part of a nationwide move towards full Internet Protocol telephony. Traditional voice lines will cease to operate on copper wires, and any firm still relying on analogue services will face a sudden loss of phone connectivity. With a clear deadline looming, companies must act now to avoid service gaps, unexpected costs, or last-minute scrambles for alternatives.
Why static IP fibre matters?
Fibre broadband featuring a dedicated static IP address removes many of the obstacles that once made VoIP adoption a complex project. A static IP provides consistent routing, enhanced security, and simplified remote access. It also removes the need for frequent address changes or workarounds when hosting phone systems in-house. By supplying one fixed address as standard, Hyperoptic ensures that any client may establish phone platforms without facing additional fees or long provisioning windows.
Benefits of VoIP and SIP trunking
Once you connect a static IP fibre line from Hyperoptic, implementing VoIP becomes straightforward. Uncontended bandwidth and near-zero jitter help to stabilize the quality of the call. Setting up SIP trunking requires only basic router configuration rather than specialist firewall rules. Users simply plug in the VoIP adapter and assign the supplied static IP address. This plug-and-play approach slashes installation time and minimises the need for on-site engineer visits, delivering a stress-free pathway off copper.
A smooth migration process
Hyperoptic’s migration specialists begin by assessing your existing phone infrastructure. They then tailor a transition plan, including a timeline aligned with your busiest periods to avoid customer impact. Early testers can port numbers before December 2025, confirming that inbound and outbound calls flow correctly over fibre. Hyperoptic technicians monitor performance during cut-over events and stand ready to resolve any configuration issues. That hands-on guidance transforms what once took weeks into a matter of days.
Cost control and future proofing
Businesses that delay risk higher costs for emergency installs or rushed configurations. With pricing transparency built into Hyperoptic’s plans, firms know exactly what to expect each month. Removing the need for leased lines or private circuits frees up budget for growth projects instead. Moreover, fibre installed today carries sufficient capacity for emerging collaboration tools and video conferencing demands, guaranteeing your infrastructure remains fit for the next decade and beyond.
Getting ready for December 2025
Time is of the essence. Audit your telephony estate now and map legacy devices that require replacement or adapters. Book a consultation with Hyperoptic to secure your static IP fibre connection and schedule your migration window well ahead of the copper switch-off. Acting early reduces risk and ensures a seamless shift with no disruption to employees or customers. Embrace life after PSTN by switching to a reliable, scalable, and manageable voice solution.
