And for several years, this meant installing bulky equipment in a company; however, hosted PBX phone systems only need minimal equipment, an Internet connection using a wireless or wired provider, and a small amount of basic programming.
One particular type is a Private Branch eXchange. Also known as an Electronic private Automatic Branch Exchange, this will not need switching equipment to be provided or operated by a telecommunications provider, instead, the system contains itself and only uses one subscriber.
