How IP PBX can be Beneficial to Businesses?

What is IP PBX?
An IP PBX is a private branch exchange that switches calls between VoIP users or traditional telephone users or between a VoIP user and a traditional telephone user on local lines while allowing all users to share a certain number of external phone lines. It works in the same way as that of a conventional PBX. It is abbreviated as IP PBX, IP-PBX, IPPBX, or IP/PBX.


How it functions?
An IP PBX phone system consists of Softphones or IP phones, IP PBX server, and an optional VoIP Gateway. IP PBX server is similar to proxy server. Whenever softphones or hardware based phones that are registered with IP PBX server wish to make calls they make a request to IP PBX to establish the connection.  The IP PBX which has the directory of all phones/users and their corresponding SIP address will process the request and connects the call via either a VoIP gateway or a VoIP Service Provider to the desired destination.

Mobile Dialer – A Smart App Leveraging VoIP for Creating a Better Communicative World!

A Peek into the Past!

Long ago, it was a tradition that people make long distance calls once in a week or thrice in a month to their loved ones scattered across the world. The number of calls and its duration were limited owing to hefty call rates. People had to live up with this hard fact until telecom giants have come up with international calling cards that would slash the call rates by half.  Though it gave them some respite, it was still a costly affair. Meanwhile, internet was put to good use with the arrival of social media applications. Slowly, people started inclining towards social apps that gave unlimited access to stay connected with their loved ones.
