The UK’s technology trade association techUK along with Welsh Water and Scottish Water are hosting a two-part event series focusing on the migration from the Publicly Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to an All-IP solution, and the migration’s impact on the water sector.

The move to an All-IP solution will be delivered by Communications Providers (CPs) by 2025, and customers and businesses that rely on the PSTN are seeking a reliable and resilient communications solution in its place.  

Use cases in the water sector include remote points-of-presence, such as river and flood monitoring. For very rural and hard-to-reach locations, mobile technology may not offer the coverage required by water companies.  

Two weeks following the Industry Briefing, techUK will host a hybrid event at its London office in which Welsh and Scottish will recap the challenge and opportunity for the tech sector in providing an alternative connectivity solution to replace the PSTN network.  

Companies/consortia will have the opportunity to showcase and pitch a series of viable solutions to Welsh Water, to solve the remote monitoring challenges.

If you are interested in showcasing your potential solution, please contact Julia Ofori-Addo by 17:00 on Friday, 6 May.
