These include PSTN-connected intruder alarms and call points in hospitals, supermarkets and hotels that allow people to book a taxi or receive information for free. Lee Broxson, CSO of Jola, said: “We create unique solutions for every user-type from our PSTN Replacement Toolkit. Jola partners are currently upgrading analogue call points in hospitals, hotels and hospitality venues, as well as replacing PSTN lines in alarm systems nationwide.
