- *3 IP Centreks Service
- A corporate IP telephone service provided by telecommunications carriers. An outsourcing service which contracts out the maintenance and operation of IP telephone servers. In the telephone system of many companies, the internal and external telephone lines are connected to and controlled by a private branch exchange (PBX) which is responsible for PBX functions including internal calls and the main exchange, call-waiting and call-forwarding. However, with IP Centrex, the internal telephone system is converted into an IP telephone system. The IP network is used to connect the telephone system to servers owned by telecommunications carriers (equivalent to the PBX) which allow companies to utilize VoIP. If the internal company telephone system is set to a PBX or an IP telephone server, this eliminates the need for maintenance and operation, which in turn allows companies to reduce expenses and personnel.
