The telecommunication industry has been transformed by PBX Business Phone Systems. PBXs (or Public Branch Exchanges) have essentially cut out the requirement for phone operators because they reroute phone calls automatically. All businesses can benefit from a PBX system. However, there are numerous types to choose from. Here are the main types available.
Traditional PBX System
A Traditional PBX is the oldest type still available. It is used through a landline with physical hardware. Unfortunately, it is extremely costly to install because of all the physical wires that need to be set up. For some companies though, it is the only practical option. For example, if you have poor Internet (and no way to upgrade your bandwidth), a Traditional system may be the best option for you.
On-Site PBX Phone System
While an on-site PBX system is similar to a traditional system, there are key differences. The biggest difference is that it uses digital phone signals and networks to place calls rather than analog wiring. With an on-site PBX, you can also use custom hardware to analyze and track your data. While on-site PBXs are less expensive than traditional systems to install, they can still prove somewhat pricey.
Cloud-Based PBX System
Cloud-Based PBXs are the most modern type of PBX available. While they have many advantages, the key benefit is that they do not require additional hardware to set up. This is because they operate through internet-based software. Therefore, they offer the best value and are recommended for most companies looking to install a PBX system. They are additionally the easiest to maintain and use. You have to remember though, with Cloud PBXs you need a reliable internet connection.
