  • Multisite environment: you need to enable flawless communication between different offices of the company

  • Failover / redundancy or load sharing: one PBX is the primary, another PBX is the secondary (backup PBX), which works in idle mode and receives all the updates from the primary PBX; in case of the primary PBX failure, the secondary PBX takes on, ensuring the continuity of the service. In this case all the devices have a double SIP registration (both to the Primary and the Secondary PBX). Read the guide: Failover Guide.

Wildix system supports Hybrid scenarios, where Hardware, Cloud and Virtual PBXs can be connected in the same WMS Network.
