ISDN Replacement Solutions in the UK for Manufacturing & Logistics

Future-proof your manufacturing communications with a seamless ISDN-to-SIP migration.

Migrate Before the Deadline

Openreach is switching off ISDN across the UK. We ensure your business is migrated well ahead of the deadline with zero disruption.

Better Features

Modern VoIP alternatives offer features ISDN never could — video calling, mobile integration, and flexible call routing.

Lower Costs

Most businesses see significant monthly savings after migrating from ISDN to VoIP, often reducing telephony costs by 40% or more.

Manufacturing still relying on ISDN lines face an urgent deadline: the UK PSTN network is being switched off, and every ISDN line will cease to function. For manufacturing using ISDN for voice calls, production schedules, quality reports, and supply chain data transfers, or alarm systems, failing to migrate in time means ERP and production systems going offline, halting manufacturing lines and complete loss of telephone service.

Cloudswitched provides modern ISDN replacement solutions for UK manufacturing, migrates your business from legacy ISDN lines to modern SIP trunks and VoIP, ahead of the 2025 PSTN switch-off, with improved call quality and lower costs. We audit your existing ISDN usage, design a modern SIP-based replacement, and manage the entire migration so your production managers and engineers experience no disruption to their communications.

How it works for Manufacturing businesses

A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.

1

Comprehensive Audit

We audit every ISDN line, channel, and number in your business — including those used for alarms, lifts, fax machines, and card payment terminals — to ensure nothing is missed.

2

Tailored Replacement Plan

Based on your audit, we recommend the right combination of VoIP, SoGEA, and analogue adapters to replace every ISDN service with a modern equivalent.

3

Managed Migration

We port your numbers, configure new systems, and test everything before decommissioning your old ISDN lines. Your team experiences zero downtime during the switch.

Seamless Migration

We port your existing telephone numbers and replicate your current call routing, so your production managers and engineers and clients experience zero disruption when ISDN lines are replaced with SIP trunks.

Significant Cost Savings

SIP trunks typically cost 40-60% less than equivalent ISDN lines. For manufacturing with multiple lines across factories, plants, and head offices, the savings are substantial and immediate.

Enhanced Call Quality

Modern SIP trunks deliver HD voice quality that surpasses ISDN, ensuring your production managers and engineers present professionally on every call with clients, suppliers, and manufacturing contacts.

Future-Proof Technology

Unlike ISDN, SIP trunks integrate with modern manufacturing platforms and support features like video calling, call recording, and CRM integration with SAP ERP, Epicor, and MES platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

The UK PSTN switch-off means all ISDN lines will stop working. Openreach has already stopped selling new ISDN lines and is actively migrating exchanges. Manufacturing should begin their migration now to avoid service disruption and secure the best SIP pricing.

No. Cloudswitched ports all your existing telephone numbers to SIP trunks, so your production managers and engineers, clients, and all published contact details remain unchanged throughout the migration.

Most manufacturing save 40-60% on line rental and call charges by migrating from ISDN to SIP trunks. A typical factories with 8 ISDN channels saves approximately £200 per month, adding up to over £2,400 annually.

We audit all ISDN-dependent equipment including alarm panels, fax machines, and EPOS terminals. Each device is migrated to a suitable IP-based alternative, ensuring no manufacturing system loses functionality during the transition.

A typical ISDN migration for manufacturing takes 2 to 6 weeks from audit to completion. Cloudswitched manages the entire process, including number porting, SIP configuration, and handset setup, with a dedicated project manager for your manufacturing migration.
