What Is an On-Premise PBX?
On-premise PBX (Private Branch Exchange) refers to traditional business phone systems installed and maintained at a company’s physical location. They rely on extensive wiring, server racks, desk phones, and IT specialists to manage call routing and extensions.
While once considered reliable, they come with major drawbacks:
- High installation and upgrade costs
- Complex wiring and hardware dependencies
- Difficult to scale or move
- Risk of outages due to local failures
- Poor support for remote teams
