The recent upgrade of the iconic The Shard to full fibre connectivity is a clear sign of the direction all modern buildings are heading. Across London and beyond, businesses are recognising that outdated infrastructure simply cannot keep up with the demands of today’s digital world. With the nationwide switch-off of the Public Switched Telephone Network scheduled for January 2027, the message is simple: now is the time to act.
Thousands of commercial buildings are still relying on copper-based networks, and many still have at least one service running over legacy lines. This leaves businesses vulnerable to potential disruption. Critical systems such as telephony, security alarms, lift lines, payment systems, and remote monitoring could all be affected if no action is taken. For any organisation, even a short period of downtime can have serious consequences, impacting operations, customer experience, and ultimately, revenue.
Upgrading to full fibre provides a more stable, faster, and future-ready connection, ensuring that your business remains operational and competitive in an increasingly connected world. It also opens the door to smarter working, improved cloud adoption, enhanced collaboration tools, and the ability to scale with ease as your business grows.
At Active Digital, we understand that making the switch can feel like a big step. That’s why we work closely with businesses to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re managing a single site or a multi-location operation, our team will assess your current setup, identify any risks, and design a tailored plan to move you to full fibre with minimal disruption.
