What is IP PBX?

  • IP PBX is an IP-based business telephone system. It integrates voice communication into enterprise data network through the VoIP technology, thereby be able to set up a unified voice and data network for connecting offices all over the world. The most significant characteristics of IP PBX is to become an integrated communications platform. Through the telecommunication network and the internet, it is able to provide voice, fax, data and video communication methods by the single device. IP PBX can also improve work efficiency and save communication costs by the integration of hardware and software.Huawei SoftCo is a kind of hybrid IP PBX. It supports double exchange capability of TDM and IP and provides functions of call control, media gateway, access control, resource allocation, protocol processing, routing, authentication, billing etc. It uses advanced software and hardware technology and has a wealth of business ability and strong networking capabilities. It can provide efficient, high quality and highly reliable voice services to the enterprise and industry customers.

      1. Based on the modes of attending a conference, the CC service is classified into four types, namely, the CC service through access code, CC service through system convening, CC service through host convening, and CC service through instant convening. In addition, video conferences and data conferences are supported.
    3. Unified message service
      1. The unified message service consists of the voice mailbox service and fax mailbox service.
    4. Instant message service, email message service, and short message service
    5. Supplementary services
    6. Supplementary services include the following:
      1. Calling line identification (CLI) service

      5. Hotline service
      6. Virtual user (VU) service

    Flexible Deployment

    1. Huawei IP PBX supports open interfaces and flexible networking.
      1. Huawei IP PBX provides narrowband interfaces to interconnect with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and traditional private branch exchange (PBX). The solution supports the signaling system No.7 (SS7), the Primary Rate Adaptation (PRA) protocol, and the R2 protocol, as well as the Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) and Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) interfaces.
      2. Huawei IP PBX provides the packet-switched trunk to realize communications between SoftCos or between a SoftCo and a SoftSwitch through the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
      3. Huawei IP PBX supports distributed networking, centralized networking, and hybrid networking.
      4. The models and number of boards, and the models of products such as SoftCos, IADs, and IP phones can be selected according to the actual capacity requirements.

    High Performance

    1. Huawei IP PBX meets carrier-class performance requirements.
      1. Busy hour call completion (BHCC): 54,000 (SoftCo9500) and 28,800 (SoftCo5816)
      2. Maximum number of conference channels: 360 for the Softco9500 and 60 for the SoftCo5816
      3. IP switching capacity: 1.6 Gbit/s for the SoftCo9500 and 800 Mbit/s for the SoftCo5816
      4. Time Division Multiplex (TDM) switching capacity: 4k x 4k
      5. Connection delay duration for internal calls: less than 3 seconds
      6. Connection delay duration for PSTN calls: less than 5 seconds

    QoS Guarantee

    1. Huawei IP PBX provides the QoS guarantee mechanism.
      1. Provides multiple encoding/decoding modes, and the average duration for dynamically switching voice encoding is less than 60 milliseconds.
      2. Supports Jitter Buffer, Echo Cancellation, Silence Compression, Comfort Noise Generation, Automatic Gain, and Packet Loss Compensation.
      3. Controls calls based on the QoS guarantee policies.

    High Reliability

    1. Huawei IP PBX provides the functions of redundancy, load balancing, overload control, and power-off survival.
      1. Huawei IP PBX provides the functions of redundancy, load balancing, overload control, and power-off survival.
      2. The mean time between failures (MTBF) is 62 years for the SoftCo9500 and 20 years for the SoftCo5816.
