3CX has released a new version of their 3CX Phone System for Windows.

The new version of the IP PBX, version 5.1, includes 3CX Tunnel, which channels VoIP traffic over one port. This both simplifies the firewall configuration and makes it easier for remote access to the company PBX.

“We know how important it is for businesses nowadays to have remote workers and branches seamlessly integrated to their company’s phone system, and the addition of the 3CX Tunnel to 3CX Phone System for Windows facilitates this process,” said Nick Galea, CEO. “The 3CX Tunnel, unlike other similar tunneling protocols, is not proprietary and can be used with popular VoIP softphones and hard phones. This is ideal for businesses, as they can use a variety of telephone options with their IP PBX depending on their needs and budget.”

There are four editions of the IP PBX from 3CX - small business, pro, enterprise and free.
