Cloud telephone vs. traditional PBX: What’s the difference?

With a cloud telephone platform, you do not need you to buy special equipment - all you need are mobile phones already available with your agents. The whole infrastructure for your phone system is hosted on the cloud, whereas in case of a traditional PBX phone system, you need to purchase, set up and maintain bulky equipment.
