Published on:

February 18, 2021

Vodia Networks has released version 67.0 of its multi-tenant cloud PBX, building on version 66.0 with enhanced features for a more flexible and productive remote work experience. Key improvements include the ability to set working hours at both the extension and domain levels, preventing phones from ringing too early. The update also introduces two-factor authentication for increased security, using either email or SMS for login codes. Version 67.0 further enhances the PBX with more SMS provider options, personalized ringtones and the ability to upload customer logos in PNG format.

We are pleased to announce version 67.0 of our award-winning multi-tenant cloud PBX is now available. 67.0 is the evolution of version 66.0: with the increasing need to work from anywhere, we made a few tweaks here and there to make working from anywhere possible and more productive. One example of this is the ability to set working hours at both the extension level and at the domain level - it significantly increases user acceptance if the phone system does not ring early in the morning!

We have also made it possible for a second-factor sign-in. Emails are a simple way to do this, of course, but where SMS is available the PBX can now send a message to the user's cell phone with the login code. Even if the user has a weak password, this feature significantly increases account security.

“We have added more SMS providers, including a simple “GET” provider that can send SMS”

Speaking of SMS, we have added more SMS providers, including a simple “GET” provider that can send SMS. With additional scrutiny on the big chat providers for their privacy practices, SMS and MMS especially are seeing a revival, particularly for business: old school telecom providers don’t sell user data.

Another highlight of 67.0 is the ability to easily upload ringtones through the web interface, also at the domain level. Though this sounds like a small change, it makes a big difference for many partners who use individual ring melodies to tailor their customers’ experience. We have also made it possible to upload customer logos in PNG format: SVG looks better, but many clients simply don’t have it. Again, this helps provide a better experience to businesses.

We also updated the Vodia apps in the app stores between release cycles. In the Microsoft store, we were able to list the Vodia app in the Windows Store and in the Microsoft Store for Business. This is very useful for companies that want to control what apps users may install on their PCs.

67.0 also gives you outbound fax capabilities and two-factor authentication. For complete release notes, please visit https://doc.vodia.com/releasenotes670.

We’re excited about 67.0. It will help end-users to work productively from the office, from home, and from anywhere. Hopefully, we can make getting through the pandemic a little bit less painful.

How Vodia Helps Hotels Not Disturb Their Guests

Vodia’s cloud PBX system enhances the Do-Not-Disturb (DND) function for hotels, allowing guests to manage their privacy through buttons in the room or on the phone. The system syncs with PMS for seamless functionality, enabling hotel operators to manually override DND when guests struggle to disable it. For critical situations, like room service follow-ups, the system allows specific extensions to bypass DND, ensuring guests are reachable when needed. VIP guest management features, guest-to-guest call restrictions and automatic resets upon checkout ensure privacy, security, and convenience, improving the guest experience while maintaining operational efficiency.

WLAN and VoIP: What You Need to Know

As businesses increasingly adopt Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), understanding its impact on Voice over IP (VoIP) is essential. While WLAN offers flexibility and mobility, it can lead to call quality issues due to packet loss and bursts during access point switching. To combat these challenges, organizations can utilize robust codecs like OPUS which are designed to handle packet loss effectively and employ Session Border Controllers (SBCs) to enhance jitter buffers. By incorporating these solutions, companies can ensure a more reliable VoIP experience that meets the demands of modern workplaces, allowing seamless communication without interruptions.

Call Forwarding Glitches

In the late 1980s, prank calls were a common form of entertainment but often caused confusion, similar to today’s call forwarding glitches. Recently, a client migrating to a new PBX system experienced disruptions when users mistyped numbers for call forwarding. While user errors are common, there's a bigger concern: calls being misdirected to emergency numbers or costly lines, especially since many VoIP phones lack security features. Solutions include restricting call forwarding to internal numbers, blocking access or allowing only specific, pre-approved numbers. Ultimately, balancing control over settings is essential to prevent glitches while keeping systems user-friendly.
