Digital & Hybrid IP Systems
SERVING PORTLAND OR | VANCOUVER WA
Private Branch Exchange (PBX) phone technology has been around for decades and refers to the in-house network your office uses to make calls within your company: this is the system you use to dial a specific extension, without dialing an entire phone number.
A hybrid phone system can be a pathway from a more traditional phone system to the new world of VoIP technology. It is also a way to use VoIP phone lines, called SIP trunks, to save money on your phone service while using the newest technology and not investing in all new telephony equipment.
Across the country, phone service carriers are abandoning the old telephone lines and converting to VoIP lines. Then they use converters to change the signals back to something useable by your phone system for those that aren’t VoIP capable yet. A hybrid digital & IP phone system can be a good option for future-proofing your telecommunications.
Integrating Digital & Hybrid IP Systems
VoIP was introduced in 1998 and has quickly overtaken traditional PBX systems. A hybrid phone system uses both digital PBX technology and VoIP to create a blended system, one that uses a digital phone system in-house, and VoIP solutions to connect to the external phone numbers. It’s truly the best of both worlds, and a great way to gain the benefits of a VoIP without the hassle!
