However, the low bandwidth consumption allows each user to place as many calls as needed without being impacted by the low bandwidth rate.Combining voice calls, video calls and Instant Messaging in a simple interface, CounterPath's X-Lite helps you seamlessly transition from a traditional phone environment into the world of Voice over IP.The latest release of X-Lite provides a completely redesigned interface that allows for a contact-centric or dialpad-centric user experience, or a combination of the two. A small amount of bandwidth is consumed from each call, which limits the number of calls that can be placed simultaneously. Calls are placed directly to an assigned softphone or dedicated server, which forwards the call to the correct service provider. Unlike a traditional VoIP system, with the X-Lite, there is no central server to install or maintain. An X-Lite is used to connect to a PSTN, so as to make and receive international calls using a private IP network without having to use an analog line. To connect to a VoIP account, an IP-based MAC address is communicated to the Softphone client and a unique counterpart is used between the client and server to identify each call source. A standard PSTN number is tied to an assigned MAC address, which is broadcast by the subscriber and routed to the correct softphone or dedicated server. A MAC address determines the service provider and the MAC code is what identifies the call source. The X-Lite is an easy-to-use, IP-based phone system that supports both softphones and dedicated lines. In addition, X-Lite is inexpensive and simple to use for anyone who is familiar with basic computer and network design.

The ability to configure multiple X-Lite connections makes it possible to place a single telephone number on a multitude of networked computers. A basic X-Lite configuration runs on a single network connection making it perfect for either a single computer or multiple computers on different networks. A Mac and PC based X-Lite is easy to install, run, and configure. A X-Lite is a small, lightweight VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone that is easy to use for anyone who desires a simple yet highly efficient phone system.
