Because of the ever-advancing technologies, business telecommunication has evolved, allowing for the efficient sharing of information across vast distances. This has greatly impacted the way businesses work, allowing for globalisation and, thereby, increasing innovation and productivity across industries. Here is a look at the various components involved in modern business telecommunications.<\/p>\n
Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX)<\/p>\n
A PABX is an automatic telephone switching system used by companies. While the original systems \u2013 PBX \u2013 required a live operator, the current PABX systems do not. There are several types of PABX systems available today, each with varying features suited to different company needs.<\/p>\n
1. Virtual PABX<\/strong><\/p>\n The Virtual PABX uses VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) to transmit over internet using cloud technology. This particular PABX is hosted and maintained offsite by the VoIP service provider. Some of the features include:<\/p>\n \u2022 Flexibility 2. IP (Internet Protocol) PABX<\/strong><\/p>\n An IP PABX is a system that connects telephone extensions to a public switched telephone network (such as Telkom), providing internal communication for a business. These business telecom systems are integrated into the same network used for sending or receiving emails and web browsing. Some of the features include:<\/p>\n \u2022 Flexibility 3. Analogue PABX<\/strong><\/p>\n The Analogue PBX takes audio signals and translates these into electronic pulses. This is the original business telecoms system and is often found in small-to-medium-sized enterprises because of the lower call costs. This system uses traditional wiring separate from the computer networking hardware. Some features include:<\/p>\n \u2022 Built-in voice message Infrastructure for business telecoms<\/p>\n Where copper cabling was once the sought-after connection for business telecoms, we are rapidly seeing a transformation as industries install fibre optic<\/a> cabling \u2013 a far superior solution. Signals are sent by light across the fibre optic cables \u2013 made of glass \u2013 providing a much better transference of signal. Fibre optic has a number of associated benefits for business telecoms:<\/p>\n 1. It is faster \u2013 the core carries light to transmit data, allowing the cables to carry signals at speeds that are only about 31 percent slower than the speed of light.
