The Yeastar MyPBX GSM 1 Channel Module participates in the PBX’s call routing logic, enabling automatic failover to cellular networks when primary trunks become unavailable. Cost-based routing can prioritize cellular channels for specific destinations or call types.
Caller ID and Call Features
Full caller ID support maintains call identification capabilities over cellular connections. Standard PBX features including call transfer, conferencing, and voicemail integration work seamlessly with cellular-routed calls.
Outbound and Inbound Call Management
The module supports both outbound calls through cellular networks and inbound calls to the assigned mobile number. DID (Direct Inward Dialing) functionality enables external callers to reach specific extensions through the cellular connection.
Network Performance and Reliability Considerations
Signal Quality Monitoring
Real-time signal strength indicators help administrators monitor cellular connectivity quality and identify potential issues before they affect call performance. The Yeastar MyPBX GSM 1 Channel Module provides diagnostic information for proactive maintenance.
Network Handoff and Roaming
Automatic network selection ensures optimal connectivity as signal conditions change or when roaming between carrier coverage areas. The system maintains call quality by selecting the strongest available cellular signal.
Failover Response Time
Rapid detection of primary trunk failures triggers automatic failover to cellular channels, typically within seconds of detecting outbound trunk unavailability. This quick response maintains business continuity with minimal interruption.
Security and Communication Protection
Encryption and Network Security
Cellular communications benefit from carrier-provided encryption and security protocols standard in GSM networks. The Yeastar MyPBX GSM 1 Channel Module maintains call privacy and security through established cellular security frameworks.
Access Control and Usage Management
Administrative controls limit cellular channel usage to authorized call types and destinations, preventing unauthorized usage that could result in unexpected charges. Usage monitoring provides visibility into cellular channel utilization patterns.
Fraud Prevention Measures
Integration with PBX security features including call restrictions, time-based controls, and destination limiting helps prevent unauthorized usage while maintaining legitimate business communication capabilities.
Economic Benefits and Cost Management
Carrier Plan Optimization
Organizations can select cellular plans optimized for their specific usage patterns including unlimited local calling, international rate plans, or pay-per-use options. The Yeastar MyPBX GSM 1 Channel Module enables flexible cost management through carrier selection.
Backup Service Cost Efficiency
Cellular backup typically costs less than maintaining separate backup trunk services while providing greater flexibility and reliability. The module delivers business continuity benefits at competitive costs compared to alternative redundancy solutions.
Operational Continuity Value
Preventing business interruption during communication outages often justifies cellular backup investment through maintained productivity and customer satisfaction. The ability to maintain operations during infrastructure problems provides significant business value.
