Mobile PBX
Mobile PBX (or hosted MBX) is a new managed hosted PBX service that extends traditional fixed line PBX telephone system functionality to mobile devices such as mobiles telephones, smart phones and PDA devices by provisioning them for use as handset extensions. Mobile PBX services also can include fixed line phones.
Mobile PBX systems are different from other hosted PBX systems in that they simply forward data or calls to mobile phones by allowing the mobile phone itself, through the use of buttons, keys and other input devices, to control the PBX phone functions (such as transfer, hold etc) and to allow users to manage communications without having to call into the telephone system itself first.
Mobile PBX telephone systems are usually priced on a subscription basis per user per month and are relatively easy to set up due to limited amount of hardware needed.
