IP-PBX Information
What is an IP-PBX? An IP-PBX is a PBX (Private Branch eXchange) that switches calls between users on the local connection with each other via IP (Internet Protocol) and connects to outside gateways such as VoIP, and traditional telephones lines such as loop start, T1, and PRI. The IP-PBX allows users in the organization to share a number of lines or trunks. By using IP the data and voice networks are converged networks, allowing for many more features, lower maintenance costs, which reduce long-term operation and maintenance costs.
What is IP Telephony? IP Telephony is transmission of voice as packets of data over either the Internet (VoIP), the LAN (local area network) or WAN (Wide Area Network).
What are the advantages of
an IP-PBX system?
An IP-PBX can save cabling costs, since it
uses data connections there is no longer the need for a separate telephone
lines. And make moves of a telephone much like that of a computer, where
there will no longer be the need for changes in cross connects, just move the
phone and plug it in. The long term cost savings of an IP-PBX system can
be significant.
Adding remote offices or remote workers is easy with an Internet connection the
only need to connect these different users. Satellite locations can route
right out through the IP-PBX switch at the main location and extension dialing
between separate locations if toll free.
BY using SIP trunks over an Ethernet connection long distance dialing and
International calling becomes significantly lower and gives the owner of the
IP-PBX freedom to choose providers who can route their calls for even more
flexibility.
