What are the differences between PABX, IPBX and CLOUD PBX?
PABX standards are old, even obsolete technologies. They use analogue telephone networks. One of the few advantages of this technology is its independence from the company’s internet connection.
If the Internet connection is not working for any reason, the company can still make calls. However, each additional phone line is an investment and requires a specialist’s intervention. This solution can be very expensive and limited when it comes to certain functionalities, today required by many businesses.
PBXs will disappear over time with the switch-off of analogue networks underway in many countries. Companies using PBXs will therefore necessarily have to migrate to an IPBX or Cloud PBX solution.
The IPBX, also known as the “IP PBX”, uses the Internet to carry telephone communications. Compared to a traditional PBX, this solution is much more flexible, as it makes use of the company’s IP network and thus facilitates the installation of new telephone lines.
However, an IPBX remains a piece of equipment hosted in the company, to which all the lines are connected. For an even more flexible and connected management of the service, a “Cloud PBX” solution should be preferred.
The Cloud PBX is the most advantageous solution for a company. It makes use of all the advantages of a cloud telephony system:
- Dematerialisation;
- Remote management and configuration;
- Cost reduction;
- Security;
- Functionality.
