Conference calls allow businesses to save on travel costs, they promote collaboration, and they support remote work, which is becoming increasingly common recently.

But what is a conference bridge, and why is it important for businesses today?

Keep reading to learn about conference bridges and what they offer.

What is a VoIP Conference Bridge?

A conference bridge is a VoIP feature that allows several attendees to participate in a phone call. It can have dedicated software, hardware, or work with a separate phone line. For many business phone systems, conference bridging is an add-on feature. Although you can make conference calls without a conference bridge, it’s necessary for more complex setups and calls for over three people.

With a conference bridge, a host can easily add or remove attendees, mute certain participants, and change the parameters of the call.

How a Conference Bridge Can Help You

Conference bridges can save time when it comes to getting everyone connected, so you can get right to business. They also help you save money, when travel costs are involved. A conference bridge with an autodialer can help increase productivity even more as it organizes calls and automatically contacts attendees who are scheduled to take part. It can even schedule across times zones. With a conference bridge, there are no long-distance charges, and your clients don’t have to deal with dialing into the conference bridge.

How Much Does Conference Bridge Cost?

Conference bridging is a great tool for businesses because it supports collaboration, remote working, remote meetings, and more. This add-on feature generally costs thousands of dollars for most phone systems. In fact, we had a customer who was paying nearly $1,000 per month for their conferencing service. We switched them to our VoIP Conference Bridge Service and they are now paying less than a tenth of that!
