PBX, or Private Branch Exchange and 5G, are names that has been in the telephony world for some time now. It is a central system that performs several key functions such as call routing, distribution, call recording, VoIP, and other modern capabilities within an organization. Cloud PBX is a virtual PBX system, which means that it is already replacing its more traditional hardware counterpart in many organizations. Cloud PBX provides the following benefits:

* scalable call system and solution;

* high mobility;

* complete accessibility through the internet and apps;

* Cost efficiency

Traditional PBX phones are usually set up for business directly on the premises of the organization, so the transition to remote Cloud PBX became especially relevant against the backdrop of last year’s experience. The staff, already accustomed to remote work, does not need a voice system that is fixed in one place.

Cloud PBX allows businesses to easily set up, update, and operate services that are the same as traditional phone systems. A few examples of functionalities found in a cloud-based PBX system are:

* Call routing

* Voicemail to email

* Auto attendant

* Reports & Analytics

5G: Empowering Cloud-based business phone systems

At this time, 5G is new and cutting-edge, yet 5G networks offer several unique features that are enhancing Cloud PBX and business communications more generally. Speed, low latency, and increased volume are a game-changer for communications and Cloud PBX service integration.

Cloud-based Business Voice: Ready for next steps

Networks such as 5G can empower the basic business voice systems to deliver more than just simple calls. The Cloud PBX system, combined with 5G network, will be able to form intelligent communication infrastructures. These cloud-based voice systems will be able to support platforms for Unified Communications (UC), AI- and automation-based intelligent call routing, and real-time remote collaboration tools.

Businesses will be able to easily implement enterprise-wide systems that will be able to integrate with CRMs, customer helpdesk systems, task management software, and interactive reporting tools. Managers and stakeholders will be able to receive reports on call quality, agent performance, call distribution, customer satisfaction, and routing via real-time interactive dashboards made possible by the ultra-fast 5G connectivity.

Support for enterprise connectivity

Businesses will also experience robust support and growth in their communication infrastructure, with advanced connectivity as they continue to scale. 5G and low-latency networks provide high bandwidth and ultra-fast data transfer, allowing the support of an increasing number of concurrent calls and video chats.

Cloud-based PBX works seamlessly within these networks to provide the framework for remote communication support and services, at a quality standard that can be built upon as the business or organization grows and requires more support.

Industries such as Healthcare, finance, logistics, real estate, and education, and many others will see the benefits of the implementation of 5G and Cloud PBX convergence in their operations. The support for ultra-fast and high-quality voice communications will help with support services such as remote diagnostics, virtual consultations, and even in-vehicle communications and control.

Future-proofing for a 5G-driven world

Businesses that are yet to migrate to Cloud PBX can start exploring their options now in adopting Cloud PBX solutions that are enabled by 5G. Many businesses are yet to be ready for the enhanced connectivity, as most of them are still in the process of migrating to the cloud, but it is clear that 5G and intelligent networking have the potential to revolutionize business communications and the way businesses interact with one another.

Future 5G-driven connectivity will mean even more intelligent, predictive, and integrated communications systems that are embedded into all layers of the business. Features such as AI and machine-learning powered transcription and note-taking, biometric voice identification, will all be possible at scale for businesses.

With 5G powers as the driving force behind these transformations and their Cloud PBX as the platform on which it all runs. Call us today to get better idea on 5G and Cloud PBX.
