The Digital Phone Switchover happening now across the UK and subsequent switch off of the old analog phone service (the PSTN) as well as 2G and 3G sunsetting is a program offering both opportunities for digital transformation in the education space but also can present challenges for the unprepared.

Join techUK for a free webinar to learn more about the program and what it might mean for schools, universities and children’s services in both the private sector and those maintained by local authorities. The Department for Education will Department for Science Innovation and Technology will be joining Communications Providers – including Virgin Media O2 and BT - to explain what’s happening and what it will mean for your organization – it might not just be the phone service impacted but other devices using the phone network - such as payment services or fire and security systems.

Hear also some case studies from those who have been through the switchover and can offer tips and guidance from the approach they took in making sure the move was a successful one.

Join us to learn more and understand how to best prepare for the change.
