What is PABX?

As all the employees or persons are connected through PABX the work environment becomes more convenient. Usually, the PABX system uses the TCP/IP protocols to establish a connection between telephones.

Reasons your company should have PABX

• Consider the situation. One of your employees who is working at level 10 of a building needs a document to complete the project. The document currently in the hand of another employee who is working at 1st floor. In this case, if there is no PABX, the employee will go to the first floor to tell another employee to send the file via email. But if there is PABX, he can just make a call to the other employee to tell him to send the file. Easy and convenient.

• The PABX system is extremely easy to use and anyone can use it by dialing only two or three digits.

• It saves time by establishing immediate communication between employees.

• You can control which phone can be used to make an outside calls (national/international).
