Common questions
Does the WFH experience match the office?
Yes - the same 3CX client (web, desktop, mobile) runs everywhere. WFH staff make and take calls, join queues, transfer, conference exactly as they would at a desk. No reduced feature set.
What about call quality on home internet?
Generally excellent on modern Australian home broadband (NBN 50/20 or 100/20+). 3CX uses adaptive codecs - quality scales down gracefully if bandwidth tightens. For staff on flaky connections, the mobile app over 4G/5G is reliable backup.
Hot-desking for office days?
Yes - any staff member walks in, logs into any desk handset with their PIN, and that phone is their extension for the day. Standard for hybrid offices with shared desks.
Can I see WFH agent activity?
Yes - supervisor wallboards show every agent's state (available, on call, idle) regardless of whether they're WFH or at the desk. Activity reports break down by agent.
Security concerns with WFH?
3CX uses encrypted SIP/TLS for signalling and SRTP for media. Recordings are encrypted at rest. Authentication can be tied to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace SSO. Most security questions are addressed by these defaults.
Phone system for hybrid work
We've deployed 3CX in offices that went hybrid during 2020 and never came back, and in newer companies that have been WFH-first from day one. Same recipe: cloud PBX, mobile-first apps, Australian support.
