A brief guide to VoIP & Cloud PBX

The replacement and upgrade of dated telephone systems has been in high demand in recent times, not only to continue business operations during the Coronavirus pandemic, but also to future-proof business communications. With many businesses and their employees working from home more regularly, we wanted to provide a brief guide on how VoIP and Cloud PBX phone systems can help your business thrive.

What is the difference between VoIP and Cloud PBX?

Hosted telephony (also referred to as cloud telephony or hosted VoIP) is a business phone system which is hosted in the cloud with online access. Users can make and receive calls using a variety of internet-enabled devices including desk phones, desktop computers, laptops, and smart phones.

Cloud PBX Phone Systems are completely browser-based; meaning real-time updates are automatic and the system has an everlasting lifespan. A Cloud PBX telephone system is the next-generation replacement to traditional phone systems using WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) technology. WebRTC is a secure, 2-way communication feature, connecting directly between a web browser and the contact centre agent. This is used for online chat, messaging, calls file sharing, conference call and video.
