These type of PBX PABX Systems are also called legacy PBX PABX Systems.
PBX PABX System fundamentals - What is a PBX PABXSystem and how does it work? A PABX or Private Branch Exchange (PBX) is an automatic telephone switching system within a private business. PBX is the acronym for Private Branch Exchange and it describes a business telephone system that enables telephone, phone calls to be switched between multiple external phone lines through the use of internal extensions, within an organization. The PBX routes incoming numbers to a main switchboard handset, where it can be answered, and then transfered or routed to the relevant extension number. All the different types of PBX PABX Systems work on the same basic principal; they connect a network of multi-phone lines used by businesses to facilitate their internal and external voice communication processes. The users of the PBX System can communicate internally by means of extensions (within their company) and externally with the outside Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) by using different communication telephone, phone lines such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunks, ISDN trunks or analog trunks. Cloud, hosted PBX PABX Systems A Cloud PBX PABX System or Hosted PBX PABX System is a virtual telephone switching system PBX (Private Branch Exchange) that is located on the telecommunication service providers voice server, which is located off-premises from the customers physical premises. Cloud PBX PABX Systems, Hosted PBX PABX Systems are the evolution of PBX PABX Systems. Cloud PBX PABX Systems, Hosted PBX PABX Systems use VoIP (Voice over internet protocol) telephone, phones and VoIP telephone, phone lines to make, receive and transfer (switch) phone calls via an internet connection as the means of voice communication. In short a Cloud PBX PABX System, Hosted PBX PABX System offers all the telephone switching functions which a traditional on-premises PBX PABX System would offer, and more. Cloud, Hosted PBX PABX System rental pricing starts at R250.00 per month. Pros and cons of cloud, hosted PBX PABX Systems One of the biggest benefits of a Cloud, hosted PBX PABX System is that it drastically reduces the initial capital outlay when purchasing a PBX PABX System. It also drastically reduces ongoing maintenance and labour costs. In terms of costs a Cloud, hosted PBX PABX System has a much lower financial capital outlay compared to an on-site PBX PABX System. Maintenance and ongoing upkeep costs on a Cloud, hosted PBX PABX System are covered by your telephony service provider, whereas these costs would be your companies responsibility with an on-premises PBX PABX System. As cloud, hosted PBX PABX Systems are internet-based, it is important that you have a reliable internet connection for good voice communication. If your internet service provider (ISP) is unreliable, you will likely have poor telephone calls. One of our consultants will advise you on this aspect as we also provide our own telephone line routers to resolve this problem, and this means that we do not have to rely on your internet connection. | What is an on-premises PBX PABX System? An on-premises PBX PABX System is the physical telephony switching hardware that is located on the customers physical business premises. These are traditional PBX PABX Systems where the PBX PABX equipment gets installed on-site on the customers business premises. Analogue PBX PABX systems An analogue PBX PABX system does all the telephone switching functions on-premises by using analogue telephony technology for telephone call communications. They connect to the PSTN via plain old telephone service (POTS) analogue copper wired telephone lines. Analogue PBX PABXSystem rental pricing starts at R350.00 per month. Pros and cons of analogue PBX PABXSystems The disadvantages far outweight the advantages of analogue PBX PABX Systems. As these type of PBX PABX systems only work with analogue PSTN telephone lines they are becoming redundant due to telecommunication providers that are phasing out the copper telephone line network. Digital PBX PABX Systems A digital PBX PABXSystem is also an on-premises PBX PABX System that makes use of digital telephony technology for the telephone switching functions. These type of PBX PABX Systems are also available in a combination of analogue and digital technology. Digital PBX PABX System rental pricing starts at R350.00 per month. Pros and cons of digital PBX PABX Systems The benefit of these types of PBX PABX Systems is that they can accomodate both analogue and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) PSTN telephone lines. One disadvantage is that only proprietary digital telephone handsets can work on the specific brand of digital PBX PABX System. IP PBX PABX Systems IP PBX PABX Systems or VoIP (Voice over internet protocol) PBX PABX Systems also also on-premises PBX Systems which use IP technology for the telephone switching functions. An IP PBX PABX System uses IP telephone handsets and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking. Some models are also able to integrate analogue telephone extension handsets. An IP PBX PABXSystem is also called a VoIP PBX System. IP PBX PABXSystem rental pricing starts at R350.00 per month. Pros and cons of IP PBX PABX Systems One of the benefits of these type of PBX PABX Systems is that they can work with analogue, digital ISDN and VoIP telephone lines. These PBX PABX Systems also make use of IP network cables on your office’s local area network (LAN) and this means that the same network cables which are used to connect your personal computer to the network switch, can also be used to connect the IP PBX telephone handsets. This makes it much cheaper to install and maintain. All pricing indicated is inclusive of VAT. |  |
More about Cloud, Hosted PBX PABX Systems An off-site Cloud, Hosted PBX PABXSystem works by allowing a business to transfer phone calls between VoIP extension telephone, phone handsets in their offices. A hosted PBX PABX is a cloud-based phone system, which is hosted off-site and works over the internet instead of at the physical location of the business. A cloud, hosted PBX PABX is also an IP PBX as it works with IP technology off-site on your telecommunications companies voice data server. Hosted IP PBX PABX systems are also called Virtual PBX PABXor Cloud PBX PABX, the terms are interchangeable and refer to PBX in the cloud. Businesses can thus save on additional costs like maintenance and support, due to the reduced need for on-premise hardware. Cloud, Hosted PBX PABX Systems have gained momentum over the last five years and are now the most popular PBX PABX solutions sold in South Africa. Below are some of the benefits of Hosted PBX PABX systems:

| More about analogue PBX PABXSystems Due to the copper cable telephone network being discontinued in South Africa analogue PBX PABX Systems are becoming outdated. As the legacy POTS PSTN copper infrastucture in South Africa has become too expensive to maintain, infrastructure providers such as Telkom have started discontinuing the copper telephone network. It is being replaced with more modern communication infrastructure technologies such as fibre, SIP, VoIP and LTE 4G. This has resulted in analogue PBX PABX Systems now reaching their end-of-life cycle. If you have an existing analogue PBX PABX system and your Telkom analogue copper telephone lines have been discontinued, we do have technology that we can install with our telephone lines that will allow them to work on your analogue PBX PABX system. We are also able to port your existing Telkom telephone numbers over to our telephone network, which will allow you to keep your existing Telkom telephone numbers when using our telephone line services. More about digital PBX PABX Systems These PBX PABX Systems work with POTS PSTN and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) PSTN telephone lines. ISDN telephone lines work on the copper cable telephone line infrastructure and due to this infrastructure being discontinued in South African, digital PBX PABX systems are also becoming obsolete due to many of the PBX PABX manufaturers having stopped the production and supply of these type of PBX PABX systems. | ISDN telephone lines work on the copper cable telephone line infrastructure and due to this infrastructure being discontinued in South African, digital PBX PABX systems are also becoming obsolete due to many of the PBX PABX manufaturers having stopped the production and supply of these type of PBX PABX systems. If you have an existing digital PBX PABX system and your Telkom ISDN copper telephone lines have been discontinued, we do have technology that we can install with our telephone lines that will allow them to work on your analogue PBX PABX system. We are also able to port your existing Telkom telephone numbers over to our telephone network, which will allow you to keep your existing Telkom telephone numbers when using our telephone line services. More about IP PBX PABX Systems The terms IP PBX and VoIP phone system are used to describe a business phone system that uses Internet Protocol (IP) to transmit voice. The switchboard element of your private phone system is the PBX PABX, which stands for private branch exchange. These systems consist of the IP PBX PABX control unit, VoIP endpoints such as fixed IP desk or IP wireless phones and mobile extension apps. Due to the IP PBX PABX being able to incorporate POTS, ISDN PSTN telephone lines as well as VoIP SIP telephone line trunking technology, these on-premises PBX PABX sytems are still readily available in South Africa. However as technology advances and as products reach their end-of-life cycle, the equipment to maintain them becomes less available and much more expensive. These on-premises PBX PABX systems will eventually be replaced with off-premise cloud, hosted PBX PABX solutions. |
