How can we help?

PBX stands for Private Branch Exchange and is a telephony system which allows communication internally within the company or externally with the outside world.

Classic PBX uses copper lines which are limited in capabilities by today's standards and also you become location dependent. Hosted PBX is a next generation of telephony system: effectively it's a set of software and hardware which is hosted in the cloud (data centre) and uses VoIP protocol to transit voice over the Internet.

Since Hosted PBX needs only the Internet to operate, a company becomes location independent and can move or open new offices without any delay. Also, as hosted PBX is based on software, it has great possibilities unseen before like hundreds of simultaneous calls only to one central number, smart routing of queues, call recording, performance reports, integration with third-party systems and so on with more features to come as software evolves pretty fast.

Such features are called unified communications. Those can be chat, video calls, screen sharing sessions, conference calls, emails, sending files to each other and using various devices to communicate. With hosted PBX, you will be able to use part of the unified communication tools like video calls, conference calls and email notifications. You can also look at our Microsoft Teams integration option to allow additional unified communication channels like chat, screen sharing, file transfer and more.

Your older handset can be used with hosted PBX via a special device called a Gateway. It will convert analog signals sent by your phone into IP traffic that can be transmitted over the Internet. However, we recommend using modern VoIP phones like Yealink that support HD voice quality and allow you to use the full range of features of the Hosted PBX.

Fibre and APN internet connectivity will work. You only need a tiny amount of bandwidth (connection speed) in order to use hosted PBX effectively.
