Internet calling is possible because of the emergence of technologies such as VoIP. Though Voice over IP is a digital method but then it also requires a telephone exchange for transference of voice calls. The telephone exchange for VoIP networks is termed as VoIP PBX.

The principle of transference of voice in VoIP network is based on conversion of voice signals to digital formats and then reconversion of the same to the original voice form. In this process the voice has to pass through the PBX in order to get delivered to end users. In fact the PBX serves as a gateway for the digital transference of voice signals.
