What is a PABX/PBX System?

First let’s get the name out of the way, a PABX/PBX goes by many names due to its long and evolving history in the commercial world, these include:

• PABX: stands for Private Automated Branch Exchange – essentially this means it is a private telecoms switching network for your business;
• PBX: stands for Private Branch Exchange, essentially just a shortened version of PABX which came about with the dropping of PABX analogue technology in the early 2000’s; and
• Switchboard System: This terminology harks back to the days when physically switching took place on a board, generating the name Switchboard System, while this is now digitised on a modern PABX, it is still regularly used.

Essentially a PABX/PBX allows you to receive and transfer multiple incoming and outgoing telecommunications. As PABX systems have advanced, they have added smarter features, but the essential questions to ask any prospective PABX buyer are simple and straightforward and typically do not change, they are:

How to choose a PABX

• How many and what type of Telephone Lines (Analogue, ISDN, BRI, PRI or VoIP) do you have or need?
• How many PABX extensions does your business require?
• Does your business require additional features such as Auto Attendant, Voicemail or Call Recording?
• How much do you spend in a typical month on your Telecom bill?
