To maintain resilience in mobilising fire crews and appliances from station end equipment, it is essential to upgrade the existing PSTN modems to 4G routers. This upgrade is required due to BT's announcement that analogue PSTN lines will begin decommissioning from December 2025. While this timeline may be extended by a few years, the risk to operational reliability remains significant.
