Is your forecourt ready?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From January 2027 the UK&#8217;s analogue phone network is being switched off. Every forecourt with DCD or CEC must have a phone that can be used in the case of an emergency. Digital to analogue converters  won&#8217;t be compliant in the event of a power cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our solution replaces the analogue dependency with a robust, always-on connection built for DCD\/CEC requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What you get:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">24\/7 DCD\/CEC connectivity, fully compliant with current regulations and works with all your existing infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Power dependency-VOIP typically relies on your router and mains power. A power cut takes your phone line down <em>and<\/em>  your DCD\/CEC with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contention and drop outs-Voice grade VOIP shares bandwidth with everything else on site. Under load, calls and data degrade or drop-unacceptable for a system that has to stay online 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No built-in resilience- Most VOIP setups have no failover. One outage and you&#8217;re non-compliant until it is fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A future proof replacement for analogue lines-no scrambling before 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simple installation with minimal disruption to your forecourt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peace of mind that compliance is sorted, permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheaper line rental than your previous analogue line rental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Analogue switch off is coming.
