Web-based phone

The Web-Based Phone feature enables PureConnect for Salesforce  users to use a web browser on a computer as a SIP telephone using WebRTC as the communication protocol. The Web-Based Phone eliminates the need to distribute, install, and configure a physical IP telephone for each agent or user, or to install a SIP soft phone application on PCs.
