Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a telephone system network. It provides end-to-end digital transmission of voice, data and signaling. ISDN cease sale came into effect from 30th June 2018 and will be completely gone from Australian Public Network by 2022. There are two main reasons for this:

· NBN has brought changes in technology.

· ISDN supporting technologies and platforms are coming to the end of their lifetime.

· Telstra is the primary ISDN service provider and before 2022, these platforms will be ceased being supported by the relevant vendor.

Customers will be notified about the disconnection, but they might not get enough time to switch to the alternative service at that time. This avoids switching-off of ISDN/PSTN service in active NBN areas, it is better to make a transition to VoIP. NBN is currently the fastest broadband service provider in Australia, allowing the transition to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services for Australian Enterprises. VoIP converts the audio signal into digital data to travel on the internet. VoIP makes it easy for you to call any landline or mobile with the help of internet. Overall, it is the best alternative you can choose.

Why Switch to NBN for Businesses in Australia?

If we look at the current state of Australian infrastructure, then it has a copper-based network. NBN uses fibre-optic cables with existing copper and fixed wireless and satellite technologies which will enhance the speed, connectivity and capacity of business phones and internet. Hence, it will improve your work efficiency, productivity and connectivity. Not only the business users are switching to NBN, but home users are also opting for it. To switch to NBN, you will either need a VoIP PBX system or a SIP Trunk. There are business NBN providers in Australia who can help you out with both.

Let us understand the PBX/PABX system and SIP Trunk in detail so that it becomes easy for you to make a choice between them.

PBX/PABX

PBX stands for Private Branch Exchange. It is a telephone system used within an organization to communication within the company or with the outside world using different communication channel such as VoIP. These are the business phone system that offers key voice features that every company required to run its daily operations. Some of its features are extension dialing, music on hold, call conferencing, customer waiting queue and others. It is hosted on the cloud and can save you a lot of money. Moreover, it offers security, accessibility along with more phones as compared to PSTN.

PABX stands for Private Automatic Branch Exchange. It is an automated version of PBX, but in present both these terms are used for the same service. PBX/PABX can be used by small businesses with fewer employees.

SIP Trunk

Session Initiation Protocol, popularly known as SIP is an application layer protocol used to achieve Voice over IP (VoIP) call between an on-premise phone system and public switched telephone network (PSTN). It is a technology that creates, modifies and terminates sessions with one or more parties. SIP provider can connect one or more channels to your PBX so that you can make local, long distance and international call through internet.
