After a long pilot, Openreach<\/a> has today revealed that the commercial launch of their Single Order Transitional Access Product<\/a> (SOTAP) for UK ISPs will take place on 1st December 2023. The new product makes it possible to offer a standalone ADSL<\/a> broadband line with optional IP-based (digital) phone services.<\/p>\n

At present BT<\/a> and other Openreach<\/a> based communication providers are all working toward the final switch-off date for the old analogue Public Switched Telephone Network<\/strong> (PSTN), which is due to reach its conclusion by December 2025. As part of this those same providers are adopting All-IP (Internet Protocol) based solutions.<\/p>\n

For example, on hybrid copper and fibre broadband lines (FTTC<\/a>), we\u2019ve already seen the new products for this transition go live via the Single Order Generic Ethernet Access<\/strong><\/a> (SOGEA and SOGFAST) solutions. But the equivalent solution for older ADSL<\/a> lines (SOTAP) has tended to lag behind and only entered the full ISP pilot stage last year (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In the old way of doing things, customers taking out an FTTC<\/a> or ADSL<\/a> service would have first required the installation or activation of an analogue copper phone line (usually bundled with broadband). But the transition to all-IP technologies changes this around, with the copper line now only carrying broadband by default and the less desirable \u2013 now optional \u2013 phone services going over the top of that via VoIP \/ IP-based products.<\/p>\n

Without this, an estimated 4 million premises in the UK – those currently on a traditional purely copper based service \u2013 would have no available fixed broadband product.<\/p>\n

Openreach<\/a>’s Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

By configuring equipment in the local exchange, SOTAP is able to provide broadband and internet protocol (IP) or digital phone services over the existing copper line running to a customer\u2019s premises. Phone services are optional and will be provided \u2018over the top\u2019 of the copper line via Voice Over IP (VoIP) products. Unlike a traditional analogue copper only line \u2013 users can make calls while browsing the internet.<\/p>\n

The SOTAP solution needs an unbundled (LLU) exchange infrastructure to work \u2013 where Communication Providers have installed their own equipment inside an exchange, giving them greater control over the voice line and broadband service they can offer customers. Providers who don\u2019t have unbundled lines can also purchase SOTAP via a wholesaler who already has LLU equipment and is offering the service.<\/p>\n

Openreach has been piloting the fibre alternative since May this year and has seen demand for the product grow rapidly \u2013 with a tenfold increase in demand following the introduction of UK wide \u2018stop sell\u2019 in September of Wholesale Line Rental (WLR) and related broadband ISP products, which include copper only lines (ADSL). The stop sell process means that when end user customers sign up for a new contract – or switch, upgrade or re-grade their service via their provider – they\u2019ll be moved onto a new digital line rather than an analogue one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The final SOTAP wholesale pricing<\/a> details for ISPs puts the annual rental for a SOTAP line at \u00a399.53 +vat, which is roughly akin to the cost of their old analogue line solutions. Naturally this doesn’t consider all of the extras that providers may need to add a retail, such as services, capacity and 20% VAT etc.<\/p>\n

According to Ofcom<\/a>’s most recent data, around 2.6 million copper broadband lines in the UK are still connected via ADSL technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
