With the UK’s PSTN network now set to shut down in January 2027 (extended from the original December 2025 deadline), businesses across the country are racing to future-proof their critical communication systems.
The Challenge: Legacy devices like elevator emergency phones, building alarms, access control systems, and telemetry equipment that rely on traditional PSTN lines will simply stop working when the network is switched off.
The Solution: The Robustel EV8100 4G Router & VoIP Gateway
This isn’t just another router – it’s a purpose-built bridge between your existing analogue infrastructure and the digital future:
✅ Seamless PSTN Replacement – Converts any analogue phone/dialler into VoIP or VoLTE without replacing your entire system
✅ Industrial-Grade Reliability – Built for harsh environments with integrated UPS battery backup (up to 24 hours)
✅ Compliance Ready – Meets elevator safety standards (EN 81-28, AS 1735, ASME A17.1)
✅ Multi-Interface Connectivity – 2x Ethernet, RS232, RS485, CAN bus for comprehensive integration
✅ Remote Management – Full RCMS cloud platform for monitoring entire device fleets
Perfect for: Elevators, emergency call systems, building security, remote monitoring, telecare devices, and any critical infrastructure currently dependent on PSTN lines.

Don’t wait until 2027 – BT themselves recommended migrating by end of 2025 to avoid the last-minute rush. The EV8100 ensures your critical communications stay online when others fail.
