The first PABX Systems were developed more than 50 years ago in the United States. Today most South African business use some form or other of a PABX system, now referred to as a PBX. The PABX is an essential piece of business equipment which allows businesses to process and transfer incoming telecommunications in a professional manner.

 

Wikipedia defines a PABX System as: private branch exchange (PBX) is a telephone exchange that serves a particular business or office, as opposed to one that a common carrier or telephone company operates for many businesses or for the general public. PBXs are also referred to as:

  • PABX – private automatic branch exchange
  • EPABX – electronic private automatic branch exchange

 

 Today the definition of a PABX has grown widely to encompass a variety of technologies. With the growth of IP PBX’s, Hosted PABX’s and now the advent of mobile 3G PABX systems, consumers now have a wide variety of solutions reducing costs and increasing options.
