The communications industry is currently going through one of
the most momentous changes in its history. In the not-too-distant
future we’ll all be able to enjoy our communications and
entertainment via one seamless network, making everything simpler,
faster, more accessible and affordable.
NGN and Manx Telecom
NGN, the Next Generation Network, is the name given to Manx
Telecom’s £25 million programme of converging mobile, broadband and
fixed line services onto a secure, resilient IP-based network. This
is one of the biggest technology investments the Isle of Man has
ever seen.
Manx Telecom is entering the final stages of this project with
the change-over of existing fixed line telephone exchange equipment
to the NGN.
This work will be phased, by exchange area, throughout 2010 and
2011. Specific exchange change-over information will be
communicated in the local press and via this site when dates are
confirmed.
Every effort will be made to make the transition to the new
network as seamless as possible for all our customers and extensive
testing will be part of the migration plan.
How will NGN affect me?
We would encourage business customers using third party supplied
telecom equipment that currently connects to the fixed line
network, to contact their suppliers for confirmation that this
equipment will be compatible with an IP based network. If your
supplier is unable to help, please contact Manx Telecom using the
email address below, providing details of the equipment in use.
Customers who have had their line migrated to the Next
Generation Network will be sent a new Star Services guide, this new
guide can also be found here:
