Proposed CVSCAFT-TCC Internet Protocol Private Branch Exchange (IPPBX)

IP PBX stands for Internet Protocol Private Branch Exchange. IP PBX is a telephone system that aims to deliver information including voice, video, messages, etc over the network. IP PBX has become a real breakthrough in the modern technologies as it allows transferring various types of data. IP PBX is especially useful for business enterprises that need to maintain constant contact with customer and affiliates that may be far away whether within the country or abroad. IP PBX is the way to monitor your business throughout the world.

It’s the ability to make free calls that makes IP PBX so popular today. International phone calls are becoming much cheaper nowadays but the considerable part of expenses that business companies spent are used to cover the cost of many international and long distance calls.

IP PBX offers a cheap telecommunication service that lets you stay connected with people on the other part of the world. When IP PBX technologies were introduced, hundreds of companies have managed to cut down their expenses and have become more profitable.

IP PBX solutions are a way to establish your corporate global network.

IP PBX is based on standard PBX but IP PBX offers much advanced functioning.

In addition to other opportunities IP PBX performs the following function:

  • Auto attendant
  • Caller ID
  • Call forwarding
  • Call detail records
  • Call waiting
  • Call blocking
  • Music on hold
  • Call pick-up
  • Call transfer
  • Call queuing
  • Conferencing
  • Conversation recording
  • Interactive voice response
  • Voicemail system
  • Protocol bridging

There are still more adantages that made IP PBX so popular. Of course the first one is its cost that is extremely cheap especially if you compare it to the cost of other means of communication. High speed internet is not a problem today and IP PBX is considered to be the telecom technology of the nearest future.

The most common means of communication in businesses nowadays is the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN). In Bohol, we have the Globelines, PLDT and Cruztelco. Other telephone companies in the country are Bayantel and Digitel. PSTN functions under the control of circuit-switched networks whereas IP PBX functions hand in hand with PSTN and the internet.

The hardware cost in IP PBX is reduced because same network infrastructure are used for both computers and voice, regular phones will be used instead of the expensive IP phones and your phone bills will be minimized.

But low cost does not mean low quality. IP PBX solutions are chosen by many people because you can get high quality communication at extremely low cost. You can each high quality sound, etc. IP PBX solutions are employed on both VoIP to normal telephone systems and on telephone to telephone systems.

Why it is cheaper:
– same network infrastructure for both computers and voice
– all advanced features implemented in proprietary and traditional PABX systems are also available in an IP PBX
IP phones are expensive
But low cost does not mean low quality. IP PBX solutions are chosen by many people because you can get high quality communication at extremely low cost. You can each high quality sound, etc. IP PBX solutions are employed on both VoIP to normal telephone systems and on telephone to telephone systems.

This is our project proposal with rose, macky and jeyboy. We hope that we can do this! Good luck to all of us.
