The analogue to digital transition

Today, technology enabled care (TEC) is largely delivered by standalone specialist devices chosen and installed by care providers and connected to dedicated monitoring centres. 

Over 1.7 million people benefit from these services and the peace of mind they give to everyone. Currently many UK technology enabled care services rely on traditional analogue telephone line connectivity for the exchange of voice and data between users and care services. 

However, the planned upgrade of the networks to digital connectivity means analogue telephony services in the UK will be switched off. Changes are already underway in some regions, which will have a consequential impact on TEC service reliability. Many services that employ analogue connectivity will therefore need to be upgraded in some way during the upcoming change

The Telecare Service Association (TSA) says that a large proportion of telecare service providers haven't even begun to upgrade their analogue equipment. They recommend immediate, collaborative action to avert potentially major disruption to services.
