A cloud PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a virtual phone system that enables businesses to make and receive calls via the internet instead of via traditional phone lines, removing the need for physical hardware. Vodia’s cloud PBX offers advanced features like voicemail, call routing, CRM integration and mobile app support, enhancing communication flexibility and reliability. With no on-premises equipment required, it reduces costs and simplifies maintenance while allowing companies to scale easily and support remote teams. This solution provides all the functions of a traditional PBX with the added benefits of mobility, cost savings and modern VoIP capabilities.
The Vodia Phone app is a free add-on for your Vodia PBX that lets you connect to your account on the PBX. The Vodia Phone app is a simple and intuitive user interface that puts your contacts and individual call history at your fingertips while providing a rich user presence. Also, starting with Android 5.0 Lollipop, based on WebRTC technology, you can place VoIP calls over WiFi or 3G at no cost, with a rich audio quality for a superior mobile VoIP experience.

Choosing your hardware
If you're a network administrator, you already have the necessary skills to run a PBX on your network. You will need to choose a SIP desktop phone and a SIP trunk provider for making and receiving calls. The Vodia PBX operates on one core and doesn't consume too much memory. Make sure you have at least 2-3 cores and at least 8-16G of memory when deciding to run the Vodia PBX - it also really depends on the operating system. Windows is great: it has a graphical interface and has a lot of tools to manage the operating system. Linux is also an OS the Vodia PBX supports.
Choosing your SIP Desktop phone
The market is flooded with SIP desktop phones. Luckily Vodia supports most of the best phones on the market, including Polycom, Cisco, Yealink, Snom, Htek, Vtech and Grandstream.
