3CX Phone System for Windows, a software-based IP PBX which I already covered in this blog a few months ago, is out with the new version 6 which adds more than 10 new features to the previous version.
Here is a summary of the newly added features:
1. Call conference service - up to 32 participants.
2. Windows 2008 server support - run a PBX virtualized.
3. Paging - page groups of users to broadcast a message.
4. Intercom - with two-way audio capability.
5. Support for Vegastream gateways (Patton & Audiocode already
supported).
6. Enhanced SIP interoperability - addition of support for many leading
international VoIP providers and SIP phones.
7. BLF provisioning - automatic provision of BLF lights indicating
extension status on phones.
8. Phonebook Provisioning - listing all extensions and allowing
addition of custom entries.
9. Fax - 3CX’ fax server allows the whole network to send and receive
faxes.
10. Extended HTTP API - ability to switch recording on/off, disable an
xtension, and disable outbound calls for an extension.
Fax and Call Conference are definitely two of the most important ones, widely used in any company, that are a big value added to the previous version. At first sight, nothing changed in terms of available versions and pricing. You can also download a FREE version which has some limitations in terms of available extensions but all the other features are in.
