Axon Virtual PBX

A software telephone switch

Axon Virtual PBX is a software product from NCH Software that works as a full telephone switch for a business. It connects to phone lines and extensions using VoIP technology and routes all the calls within an organisation, doing the work a traditional private branch exchange would do without a cabinet of dedicated hardware.

What it provides

The standard features of a business telephone system are included: transfer, hold and call recording. It supports up to 64 extensions or external lines, and every extension gets its own voicemail box. Simple on-hold music plays while callers wait. A web-style control panel handles configuration and can be reached remotely, so an administrator does not have to be at the machine running the software.

Part of a wider catalogue

NCH Software publishes downloadable programs for Windows and Mac across video, audio, graphics, business and utilities. Axon is its entry in the business telephone category, alongside tools for invoicing, accounting and bookkeeping that the same site lists.
