Music on Hold plays an important role in how callers experience wait times and perceive service quality. With Vodia PBX Version 70, we’ve enhanced Music on Hold to deliver neutral, calming, high-quality audio that reassures callers while they wait. These improvements, combined with flexible streaming options, emergency messaging, and full support for cloud and on-premises multi-tenant environments, help businesses reduce dropped calls and create a more positive caller experience before an agent ever answers.
Organizations often start with an open source PBX for flexibility, but as systems move from initial setup to daily operations, the real cost becomes management, maintenance, and long-term reliability. This article explores the difference between building a PBX stack from frameworks and running a commercial, integrated PBX platform, focusing on operational complexity, security responsibility, upgrades, and ongoing maintenance. It explains how a purpose-built PBX shifts the burden from continuous engineering to stable operation, helping teams prioritize clarity, control, and scalability as requirements grow.
Vodia PBX now integrates Google Gemini with JavaScript IVR and Voice Agents, enabling real-time, AI-driven call handling and intelligent routing. By combining Gemini’s multimodal large language models with Vodia’s programmable IVR framework, organizations can build voice agents that stream audio in real time, make routing decisions through function calls, and handle both basic and attended transfers with AI-assisted screening. This integration allows businesses to automate call flows, reduce hold times, and improve productivity using conversational AI that works directly inside the PBX.
