What is PABX?
PABX is a business solution for educational institutions that need many lines for in-house and outside calls. It allows schools or colleges to use a single access number that has several extensions. This is cheaper compared to using many landlines linked to the public network.
An educational institution that uses either PBX or PABX acts like a telephone exchange. PABX automates the switching tasks needed to connect calls between extensions.
That’s the “A” in the acronym. In contrast, traditional PBX needs human switchboard operators to connect phone users.
In a PABX system, each device connected to the exchange has a designated extension number. These devices include desk phones, computer modems, and fax machines.
A PABX system is often owned and administered by the company hosting it. Many call centers and large enterprises use PABX. Common features include auto attendant, call conferencing, call hold, and call transfer.
What is the Difference between PBX and PABX?
PBX and PABX are more or less synonymous. They are both switching systems. They’re not exactly the same, but that’s ok. You can think of PABX as an improved version of the traditional PBX.
A Private Branch Exchange is a telephone network owned, administered, and used within an organization. In traditional PBX systems, human operators manage the switchboards used in telephone exchanges.
Switchboard operators use their hands to plug wires to close a call circuit.
This establishes a connection between two people using POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). Human-operated systems came to be known as a Private Manual Branch Exchange (PMBX).
