IP Phone Systems Are Changing How We Communicate Today

Business phone systems hardly changed after they were introduced in the 1950s: an on-location PBX managed multiple phone lines and routed calls. Sure, there were technical advances and add-on services enhanced performance, but communication was basically limited to voice.

Today, however, there are countless ways to email, text, buddy, share, video chat, conference—and place a call. This brings tremendous advantage by increasing the speed of business.  But it also spawns equally tremendous complexity. How can IT departments keep up with administering and securing a multitude of applications? Fortunately, there’s a better way with IP phone systems.

At the heart of every business phone system is the PBX (Private Branch Exchange), which makes connections among the internal telephones of a business or other private organization and connect them to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Traditional hard-wired PBX systems evolved in the 1990s to use Internet Protocol (IP) to carry calls.  An IP PBX uses Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and can also be known as a VoIP PBX, IP-PBX,  virtual PBX or IPBX.

IP phone systems perform four main call processing duties:

• Establishing connections between the telephone sets of two users
• Maintaining the connections as long as needed
• Disconnecting the connections when the users hang up
• Providing information for accounting purposes

An IP PBX system consists VoIP enabled phones and an IP PBX.  The phones register with the IP PBX server, and when they make a call the IP PBX establishes the connection. VoIP phones can be simple software-based soft-phones or purpose-built hardware devices that appear much like an ordinary telephone or a cordless phone.
