VOIP / Telephone Systems
Switchvox PBX
Switchvox is much more than just an office phone system. The Switchvox PBX interoperates seamlessly with traditional standards-based telephony systems and VOIP systems, so you can call anyone in the world regardless of their phone, PBX or phone company.
At its most basic, Voice over IP (VOIP) enables the use of the Internet as a transmission medium for telephone calls. The significance to your business is that VOIP enables your phone system to run at just the cost of your Internet access with no additional charges. That means no more long distance bills and dealing with big phone companies.
Short for Private Branch Exchange, a PBX is a private telephone network for your business. Users of the PBX share outside lines for making telephone calls external to the PBX. Most companies use a PBX because it is significantly less expensive than connecting an external phone line to every telephone in the organization, a scenario where inter-office calls may actually accrue charges from your phone company. Additionally, it is easier to call within the PBX because just an extension of 3 to 5 digits is needed to place the call.
Setting up your Switchvox couldn't be any easier when you use VOIP, because no additional hardware is needed. You can set up your PBX to use VOIP in a matter of minutes, without calling out the expensive consultants.
Your Switchvox PBX supports the most commonly used VOIP protocol, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). SIP is the technology choice for real-time communication session control throughout the Internet, corporate networks and within next-generation wireless networks.
Of course, the Switchvox PBX includes many other features besides just connecting calls. These include Digital Receptionist, Music on Hold, Time-based Behavior, Voicemail to your e-mail inbox, Support for analog phones (including cordless phones), Support for VOIP Phones, Message Waiting Indicator, One Touch Voice-Mail Retrieval, Unlimited Nested IVR Menus, Call Transfer, powerful on-line tool suites for both administrators and users, and much more!
