Here is our network vision in a bit more detail.
when we think about fixed-mobile convergence, it’s not just in terms of the products we sell. It goes deeper than that, to the network.
Our converged network will be set up to meet increasing data demand – providing seamless ubiquitous connectivity across devices, both indoors and out and about.
In terms of our access network, we’re investing in our fibre network, with a vision of speeds of 500Mbps being available across most of the UK over the next ten years.
Our fixed networks will work hand in hand with small cells in homes and businesses, and with EE’s market-leading network when people are outside.
This vision will build on the investment we’ve made to date. And it will ultimately simplify our estate by replacing many of the legacy networks and platforms we have now, saving us costs in the longer term and giving our customers flexible and seamless services.

4. Why All-IP?
PSTN equipment needs to be right sized to support sustaining of the platform
Cost of maintaining components of the PSTN is rising
Mobile and Over the Top providers offer more integrated and innovative services – customers expectations are going up.
The case for an all-IP solution is compelling, with Voice as a service over broadband it will provide customers with more from their communications services such as:
BTs API stack allowing integration to customers CRM
Integrating Broadsoft and Office 365

5. BT’s Network Vision
Connecting our residential and business customers to the best network wherever they are – ultimately seamlessly switching between fixed and wireless broadband

6. Migration Challenge
Continued delivery of PSTN, building a new IP Voice Product and migrating between them
Phase 1 - Sustain
Phase 3 - Enable
Phase 2 - Evolve

7. We’re building a Voice Ready Network for our All-IP service over BTs broadband network
Customers take voice reliability for granted on the PSTN, delivered through a mature and service specific platform and network
We are focusing on the following key areas
Service availability
Access stability
Call quality
Quality of experience (QoE) reporting
Service coverage
Repair time
Operational readiness
