History

3CX was developed by 3CX, an international VoIP IP PBX software development technology company as an open-standards, software-based PBX. First published as a free IP PBX product in 2006, the product was intended to provide a VoIP solution for use in a Microsoft Windows environment.[1]

The first commercial edition of the product was launched in 2007. Reviews of the product have noted its easy configuration, management, and hardware compatibility.[2][3][4][5] Smith on VoIP commented in a blog post about 3CX that it was very easy to use.[6] In 2009, it was featured on the internet TV show Hak5.[7] On 7 June 2017, 3CX released version 15.5 with a complete feature set from WebRTC video conferencing, presence, chat and voicemail and a brand new Web Client.
