How can the SoGEA line work for my business?

As the deadline for the Big Switch Off of all traditional copper lines approaches, companies are seeking alternative solutions for their business communications. There are various options to choose from based on company scale, cost expectations, and required features.

We recently assisted one of our clients, Infodata, in transitioning from traditional lines to the SoGEA line. However, many customers are unaware of what the SoGEA line is, how it functions, and its costs. In this blog, we will clarify the key points of the SoGEA line to provide a comprehensive understanding of the available options for your new business communication solution.

What is the SoGEA line?

SoGEA is a type of fibre broadband connection, standing for Single Order Generic Ethernet Access, providing all the essential components for a fast internet connection. It allows customers to establish an internet connection without having to purchase an actual telephone line and can be combined with VoIP services.

The SoGEA line is quick, easy, and cost-effective to install because it eliminates the need for physical installation of the telephone line. The connection speed is faster compared to traditional broadband, and increased reliability makes this solution perfect for businesses looking to transition to a new mode of communication.

Benefits of the SoGEA line:

  • Cost-effective: No telephone line results in cheaper installation costs and no monthly fees. Faster speeds: SoGEA lines are significantly faster than traditional ADSL broadband.
  • Easy installation process: The installation process of the SoGEA line is 50% quicker than that of ISDN lines.
  • Reliable connection: Single order lines provide more stable connections as there is no call traffic on the line.
  • One supplier: You will only have one point of contact for any service enquiries.
  • Modern technology: Given that Openreach is updating all traditional broadband lines to full-fibre, it is essential for your business to be ready for the future.

Any businesses still relying on traditional telephone lines will need to transition to modern telecom solutions by 2027. One of the best future-proof solutions is VoIP telephony, which uses the internet connection to transmit calls. VoIP solutions offer numerous benefits, including reduced costs, better scalability and flexibility, improved collaboration, and app integration.
