ISDN Replacement Solutions in the UK for Media & Broadcasting
Future-proof your media 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.
Media 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 media using ISDN for voice calls, video rushes, audio masters, and broadcast-ready files transfers, or alarm systems, failing to migrate in time means massive media files taking hours to upload and distribute and complete loss of telephone service.
Cloudswitched provides modern ISDN replacement solutions for UK media, 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 editors, journalists, and producers experience no disruption to their communications.
How it works for Media 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.
ISDN Replacement Solutions in the UK for Media
Seamless Migration
We port your existing telephone numbers and replicate your current call routing, so your editors, journalists, and producers 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 media with multiple lines across studios, newsrooms, and edit suites, the savings are substantial and immediate.
Enhanced Call Quality
Modern SIP trunks deliver HD voice quality that surpasses ISDN, ensuring your editors, journalists, and producers present professionally on every call with clients, suppliers, and media contacts.
Future-Proof Technology
Unlike ISDN, SIP trunks integrate with modern media platforms and support features like video calling, call recording, and CRM integration with Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, and Dropbox Replay.

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. Media 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 editors, journalists, and producers, clients, and all published contact details remain unchanged throughout the migration.
Most media save 40-60% on line rental and call charges by migrating from ISDN to SIP trunks. A typical studios 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 media system loses functionality during the transition.
