Connectivity


Organisations now rely on efficient and reliable connectivity to the Internet. Emails, web services, phone calls, applications, storage of data and many other services depend on this core part of your infrastructure.

These services therefore need to be suitably fast and reliable. At Octagon we are able to recommend from a range of services across multiple suppliers. Everything from Hi- Speed SD WANS, inexpensive Fibre options or Broadband  , we help you consider what is needed and at what budget.

Consideration should also be given to the bigger picture of connectivity to other sites, what sort of applications will run, security and future plans.

Whilst all suppliers are carefully chosen and report extensive reliability and up time, we also look carefully at the implications of a loss of service and what cost effective steps can be taken to ensure that your organisation continues to function.

ISDN SWITCH OFF

BT intends to switch off the PSTN and ISDN networks for good, starting with a cease in supply in 2020 and moving to a full migration by 2025. The BT ISDN switch off could affect many businesses in the near future, especially those unaware of BT phasing out ISDN and looking to invest in or upgrade their current business telephone system.
