| Hosted PBX --- A
private branch exchange (PBX) is a telephone system that serves a particular
business or office, as opposed to one that a telephone company operates for
many businesses or for the general public. A hosted PBX system delivers PBX
functionality as a service, available over the internet. Hosted PBXs are
typically provided by the telephone company, using equipment located in the
premises of the telephone company's exchange. This means the customer
organization doesn't need to buy or install PBX equipment. Here a few
advantages of a hosted PBX. Allows a single number to be presented for the entire company, despite its being geographically distributed. A company could even choose to have no premises, with workers connected from home using a SIP Phone or SoftPhone and receiving the same features as any PBX user. Employees can access the network using most high speed internet connections. This allows one extension to ring in multiple locations (either concurrently or sequentially). |
