POWERED BY

Rapid Deployment and Development - AsteriskNOW™Asterisk® in 30 minutes or less! The most popular open source IP Telephony Platform software, Asterisk, can now be easily configured with a graphical interface. AsteriskNOW is an open source Software Appliance; a customized Linux® distribution that includes Asterisk, the AsteriskGUI, and all other software needed for an Asterisk system.

Rapid Deployment of Turnkey IP PBX - Switchvox™ Free EditionSwitchvox’s award-winning, Asterisk powered business phone system is now FREE! Switchvox Free Edition is a software platform that includes an underlying operating system and Switchvox IP PBX software to run on regular PC hardware. With 15 user extensions, the ability to handle up to 8 simulataneous phone calls, easy-to-use GUI, and a no-hassle option to upgrade to SMB or SOHO, what’s not to love about this powerful and free IP PBX?

Extreme Cost ReductionCombined with low-cost Linux telephony hardware, Asterisk can be used to create a PBX or IP Telephony application at a fraction of the price of traditional systems, while providing a level of functionality exceeding that of many of the most expensive systems available.

Control and FlexibilityAsterisk allows the user to take control of their phone system and applications. Once a call is sent to a Linux system with Asterisk, anything can be done to it. In the same way that Apache™ gives the user fine-grained control over virtually every aspect of its operation (and its open source nature gives even more flexibility), the same applies to Asterisk.

Rich, Broad Feature BaseBecause Asterisk is open source and is implemented in software, not only does it provide features such as voicemail, voice menus, IVR and conferencing which are very expensive for proprietary systems, but it also allows new features to be added rapidly and with minimal effort.

CustomizationThrough its internationalization support, configuration files, and source code, every aspect of Asterisk can be tweaked. For example, Asterisk's codes for call features could be changed to match an existing system.

Dynamic Content DeploymentIn the same way that web servers like Apache allow a user to deploy dynamic content, such as account information, movie show times, etc, on the web, Asterisk permits you to deploy such dynamic content over the telephone, with the same ease as CGI.

Extremely Flexible DialplanWith an unusually flexible dialplan, Asterisk allows seamless integration of IVR and PBX functional-ity. Many of the existing features of Asterisk (and desired features of the future) can be implemented using nothing more than extension logic. Asterisk supports a mix of extension lengths.
