The virtual IP Phone switch can scale up to 1000 IP Phone endpoints, and supports all IP functionality of a hardware-based voice switch including Hunt Groups, Page Groups, Monitored Extensions, Bridged Call Appearances, IP Proxy, and much more. The virtual IP Phone switch core software is provided free of charge, and only when connecting an IP Phone does it require a virtual IP Phone license per device. Note that one or more Virtual IP Phone Switches can also be configured for N+1 redundancy free of charge.
