The aim is to support individuals and organisations, who have security and fire alarm systems connected to the PSTN telephone network, in transitioning smoothly to the All-IP network infrastructure. Openreach Digital Services Test Lab The Openreach Digital Services Test Lab was established in 2021 to assist organisations in preparing their products for compatibility with the All-IP environment (FTTP/FTTC/SOGEA).
