PBX phone systems, simplified
Do you know what happens after a customer dials the phone?
Chances are, the call will be routed across multiple copper wires to your local service provider, which gets routed again to your office’s local phone. This process can be costly.
What you need is a more intelligent solution.
A PBX is a phone system that allows a telephone line to be shared by more than one person.
Before PBX, everybody needed their direct connections to the service provider’s central office (CO). This process proved to be quite expensive and complicated.
A PBX system will take a line from the CO and duplicate them across all of the lines in the office
This system also manages phone calls both internally and externally for a business. This way, companies can handle their internal telephone system routing while still providing a telephone line for calling outside the company’s network using the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
The PBX can be located in the following:
- On-premise
- In a cloud system
- Or, in a hybrid of the two
Why is PBX cost-effective?
The PBX reduces cost by splitting one trunkline among multiple desks in the office. Instead of subscribing to 100 trunk lines for 100 desks, a PBX can designate multiple stations to only a single trunkline.
What businesses can benefit from a PBX phone system?
- Small-to-medium-businesses
- Franchises
- Businesses with scattered offices
- Call centers/BPOs
- Clinics and hospitals
- Schools
- Hotels
Advantages of PBX for businesses
When you’re running a small business, chances are you just have one telephone line in your office.
As your business grows, you will need more phones for your staff. If your staff is spread throughout the country, things can get complicated and costly.
With more telephone lines and telephone numbers, both complexity and expense can grow.
Enter PBX.
Cut costs while making your workspaces more flexible and less complicated to run. For small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), here are what PBX can bring you:
- Centralized control
You can set up just one number that will access your office’s many phones. Just one. Gone are the days when you’d have to list so many phone numbers in the directory.
- Effective scalability
Thanks to features like call recording and call metrics, a PBX phone system can keep track of all incoming and outgoing calls. In the old days, you can only see how many calls your business received only when the bill arrives.
- Efficient internal communications
Did you know in the traditional system, when you call another number within your office, the call gets routed to the service provider before it goes back to your office to ring the other phone? This external routing may incur charges.
- Automation
You don’t have to employ a receptionist. PBX’s ‘auto attendants’ will just let callers dial extension numbers to be directed to specific departments or people.
- Personalization
A PBX system can personalize greetings to callers and diversify recorded messages for each extension.
- Accessibility
In a hosted PBX phone system, sales teams can access their calls, emails and marketing applications on their smartphones.
- Flexible call routing
You can program your PBX system in such a way that it will automatically forward an incoming call to another phone if you fail to answer within a given number of rings.
PBX vs VoIP: What are the important differences?
Today’s businesses are torn between two options for their office phone systems: The PBX and the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) network.
- System connection – The VoIP enables users to use the internet (IP) as the transmission medium for phone calls, rather than by conventional circuit transmissions of the PSTN, as with PBX.
- Availability of equipment – Before, PBX systems used standard analog phone equipment. Newer PBX systems work with both corded and cordless phones and hands-free systems. VoIP systems work with any device that has internet access, making it possible for people to make and receive calls pretty much anywhere.
Performance and reliability – Traditional PBX draws power from telephone lines, so they’d still work even when the building’s power goes out. VoIP’s performance will depend on internet bandwidth allocation. Sufficient bandwidth may be needed to handle many simultaneous calls.
