PBX System (IP PBX) on Budget for your Yacht…

If you don’t have a PBX system already on your yacht you might consider having Alan Spicer Marine Telecom build you a modern IP PBX out of common PC hardware. It can save on the cost of installing a commercial PBX system - and can be used to leverage Voice over IP across Broadband or 3G Internet connections whereever you go.

PBX, in case you didn’t know what that is, I didn’t think most of you would want a long drawn out technical article. More info can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_branch_exchange

It can also have the added advantage of using existing IP Network (onboard wired and wireless computer network) typically used for Internet Access. This can save on wiring installation of extensions for the PBX system. Instead of having to run phone cables - we use existing networking (wired, wireless) to deploy new type IP Handsets or IP Telephones instead of traditional PBX extensions.

Tired of running for the boat phone extension when it rings? You can also run an IP Telephone Software on your laptop, or PDA / Smart Phone … and log your extension in right there. Answer the PBX phone calls whereever you are AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.

The system is a software that runs on modern Windows Operating System - while providing the expected powerful PBX capabilities. But instead of having a PBX expert have to come in and “program” yours system … it’s all manageable from your easy chair on your Laptop or Desktop computer.

I obviously offer consulting on the more advanced features … and we can get any questions answered at any time - either from myself - or from the manufacturer.

Here’s what it looks like (Management console and one Windows IP Phone extension logged in - in a test environment.)

Savings can be had by using VOIP (yes, like Vonage) provider to handle inbound and outbound calls. VOIP becomes your “Phone Line”. But it can also support other standard plug in phone lines as well (shore line, Cell Phone Line, … etc.)
