The Essence Of Conference Bridge


A conference bridge is an accumulator that connects large number of people over a single call line. The bridge is nothing but a simple server that acts like a telephone and by which, many callers can hear and answer to a number of people at a same time. There are many other software abilities of this server that make it a lot more than just a call connector. For instance, the callers may require entering a special code in order to receive or make a call. Most of the organizations these days are adopting these services to be able to connect employees sitting at different locations. 


The conferencing system generally allows multiple conferencing rooms to make calls to other conferencing rooms. Every room may have a number of call participants, and the total number of rooms and participants entirely depend upon the capacity of the system, which include hardware, model and licensing. Most of the conferencing bridge systems assign a particular DID numbers to the administrator, but sometimes a single DID number can allow multiple users to make and receive calls using the IVR application. The safety of bridge is ensured with the PIN number, which is required to be entered at the time of making a call.  

Advanced conferencing bridges also support graphical user interface in which the users can see the face of person he is talking with. There are more options and features for the administrator and the moderators. Some bridges also provide dynamic meeting rooms, in which the meeting rooms are ideally created during the call. This technique is generally used at the places where there are very large number of people want to be engaged with the conferencing. 

Key Benefits:

The conference bridge allows companies to save significant amount of money. This way, they do not have to visit from one place to other in order to establish a meeting. Also, it creates a virtual connectivity amongst the different departments of an organization. VoIP feature allows remote workers to collaborate with each other even if they are sitting at remote geographical areas. This is particularly more beneficial for large organizations that have hundreds of employees, working on a shared task but sitting on different locations. Using this bridge, they can share their work and updates with each other without meeting in person.
