VoIP PBX System - Good Method of Communication for Large and Small Firms

By Steven P. Garrison


VoIP phone systems offer more or less the same features of conventional PSTN telephone systems. One of the advantages of the former is smaller cost over the latter. Common features include caller ID, voice mail, car attendant, call forwarding and many others. Toll free numbers as well as local telephone numbers and are usually powered by a VoIP PBX system. In case you were wondering, PBX stands for Private Branch Exchange.

One of the good things about the VoIP PBX system is the possibility of personalisation and a bit of modification of the VoIP PBX system. The open standards together with this phone system's technology can be applied into the present system for additional security of confidential calls. Add-ons of a VoIP PBX system include card payment systems and technology to operate faxes.

A general PBX system works by translating circuit switched outputs that came from the PBX system straight into IP packets. Data packets are then forwarded to the router and through different lines. In order to take advantage of this type of system, firms must have stable broadband Internet to hold multiple calls with no interruptions. Smaller companies with not more than 5 staff require 90 kbps transmission for each telephone line. A rather more intensive VoIP PBX system may be obligatory for firms with one hundred or even more workers.

Firms choosing to have a VoIP PBX system only require a tiny investment. Smaller firms will likely spend $1,000 or less for this communication system. Larger firms could need to spend more dependent on the number of its workers and the character of the company.

The distinct feature of VoIP PBX system is that conversations can be recorded and transcribed to text since all calls are digital. In this way, all calls can be reviewed which can be useful in working out issues such as miscommunication inside and outside the company.
