What is a PBX?

An acronym for Private Branch eXchange. PBX telephone systems support incoming calls from the outside PSTN, placing calls between users' phones (also known as extensions) and other phones or the outside PSTN, conferencing other users together, recording voicemails and a variety of other advanced telecommunication functions.

PBX systems are broadly broken into several categories:

  • Traditional (also known as legacy) - Usually don't support IP at all or support it only with expensive add-on equipment
  • Converged (also known as hybrid) - Support IP and PSTN connections with equal force. Most flexible and cost-effective model
  • IP-PBX - Support only IP connectivity. Any PSTN connectivity must be achieved through external converters (Gateways)
