PBXperience Hosted PBX Business Phone System

Our PBXperience service is the perfect replacement for an aging, outdated business phone system, or for a new company that desires cutting-edge features, best-in-class support and service, without any large up-front expense to purchase equipment. Designed primarily for businesses with 20 stations or fewer, PBXperience can scale anywhere between 1 and 500 stations depending upon your specific business needs. PBXperience is also perfect for a distributed company which does not have a central office where its employees work, has employees in several locations or with employees who work from home.

Until recently, the legacy model for business telephones involved paying a telephone carrier each month for phone service, buying a business phone system for your office, paying a consultant to help setup the phone system to meet your business goals and train your staff to use the system, and then also paying a company monthly or annually to support and maintain that system. The concept of Hosted PBX combines all of those functions and expenses into one, and consolidates them all into one service provider who handles the whole experience. This is what PBXperience does. Here are some of the benefits of PBXperience:

• While many telecom companies offer only the lowest level of quality, we offer five distinct levels of quality for voice telecommunications services. This permits each subscriber to pick the best budget/quality balance for the needs at hand. The five levels of quality are:
  1. Voice over two redundant private transport circuits provides a diverse circuit path from one or more customer locations to our redundant primary and secondary Carrier Switching Centers. In this configuration, voice traffic never travels across the internet, and a failure of one of the circuits or at one of our Centers would not cause a service outage. During a failure, calls would automatically use the redundant path. This configuration meets privacy and security standards such as HIPAA and Payment Card Standards, and is not vulnerable to internet-based attacks such as DDoS. This configuration provides a Service Level Agreement and carrier-grade voice service is guaranteed.
  2. Voice over private transport circuit, with secure internet backup provides the same redundancy as level 1, except that the secondary service path uses the subscriber’s internet connection to reach our secondary Carrier Switching Center instead of a secondary private circuit. If the primary circuit or Center is down, calls will automatically route through the secondary as long as the subscriber’s internet connection is working. This configuration meets privacy and security standards such as HIPAA and Payment Card Standards, and is not vulnerable to internet-based attacks such as DDoS except in the unlikely event that the primary circuit is down. This configuration provides a Service Level Agreement and carrier-grade voice service is guaranteed.
  3. Voice over private transport circuit provides a reliable, non-internet connection to our Primary Carrier Switching Center but not to our secondary Center. In the event of an outage, inbound calls can still be forwarded to cellphones during the outage either manually or setup in advance to occur automatically. This configuration meets privacy and security standards such as HIPAA and Payment Card Standards, and is not vulnerable to internet-based attacks such as DDoS. This configuration provides a Service Level Agreement and carrier-grade voice service is guaranteed.
  4. Voice over encrypted internet connection uses the subscriber’s internet connection for voice service, which means that quality problems with the internet connection could cause quality issues with voice services. This configuration meets privacy and security standards such as HIPAA and Payment Card Standards, and is vulnerable to internet-based attacks such as DDoS which could impair internet and voice services. This configuration provides no Service Level Agreement and carrier-grade voice service is not guaranteed.
  5. Voice over Internet uses the subscriber’s internet connection for voice service, which means that quality problems with the internet connection could cause quality issues with voice services. This configuration does not meet privacy and security standards such as HIPAA and Payment Card Standards because it transmits telephone calls over the internet without encryption, where they may be intercepted by third parties. This service is also is vulnerable to internet-based attacks such as DDoS which could impair internet and voice services. This configuration provides no Service Level Agreement and carrier-grade voice service is not guaranteed.
