PABX Gauteng

PABX Vital To Gauteng Business

The average modern business operation would probably find it difficult if not impossible to continue trading without an effective PABX installation. Gauteng businesses, frequently, handle thousands of telephone calls during the course of a day and may employ large numbers of staff, each with a need to have access to a reliable communication system. The PABX or private automatic branch exchange, is used to route calls between a public network and multiple points within a given, private network such as a suite of company offices and with minimal intervention from an operator.

The PABX system of a typical Gauteng business will be called upon to provide voice communications for a large number of employees as well as support for facsimile transmissions and a number of internet connections via modems. Although outgoing and internal calls are normally dialled directly, security measures aimed at controlling and correctly allocating costs may also be incorporated into PABX systems that then require users to authorise their outgoing calls by means of a PIN.

In the past, when handling outgoing calls, key systems, with which users were required to select their own outgoing lines manually, were employed. PABX systems in Gauteng and elsewhere around the country are able to perform the line selection automatically although some hybrid systems support both types of selection. Because PABX systems handle call switching-locally rather than through the public network, internal phone calls attract no charge, a benefit that can result in considerable cost savings to a busy company.

As the needs of business have evolved and become more complex, so too has have PABX systems. Gauteng businesses are now able to make use of advanced communications techniques such as conference calls and call forwarding following the development of ISDN-based PABX systems. Most recently, VoIP (voice over internet protocol) technology has enabled telephone calls to be routed via the internet resulting in even greater cost savings to companies.
