How does Quantum work?
Complete business phone system explained
What is Quantum?
Quantum is Lightspeed Voice’s full-featured business phone system. It powers your organization’s calling, routing, voicemail, and user management through a centralized cloud platform. Quantum handles everything from inbound call routing and extensions to call recording, voicemail transcription, and administrative controls.
Because Quantum operates in the cloud, your system stays accessible and manageable from anywhere, without on-site phone servers or maintenance. All call activity, users, devices, and settings are controlled through an intuitive web-based admin portal.
Quantum serves as the foundation for all Lightspeed Voice features, including AI insights, CRM integrations, desktop and mobile apps, and advanced analytics.
What Quantum Does for Your Business
• Call Routing — directs incoming calls using auto attendants, call queues, and ring groups
• Extensions and Users — assigns extensions, devices, and permissions to each team member
• Voicemail Management — stores voicemails with transcription and email notifications
• Call Recording — securely records calls for training, compliance, and reference
• Admin Controls — allows administrators to manage users, devices, and system settings
• Cloud Infrastructure — eliminates the need for on-site phone servers or hardware maintenance
