Telappliant launches new VoIP Phone System built on open source telephony software

VOIP for Business, Olympia Conference Centre, London, 1-2 June 2005. Telappliant, a specialist supplier of end-to-end and business quality VoIP solutions, announces today a revolutionary new software-based office phone system that’s built on the world-acclaimed Asterisk™ open source and Linux-based telephony software.

The Telappliant IP-based Private Branch Exchange (IP-PBX) not only provides office phone users with a far broader range of voice and data features than traditional office phone systems typically offer today but also reduces both PBX implementation costs (through the use of open source, standards-based software) and phone bills through the use of VoIP calling.

In addition to standard office phone features, Telappliant IP-PBX provides advanced features such as least cost call routing, voice mail, call queuing (ACD), Automated Attendant, interactive voice response, call conferencing and music-on-hold. It also supports features unique to VoIP-enabled systems such as video conferencing, web collaboration, stereo call recording and the seamless integration of geographically remote telephone extensions.

Telappliant IP-PBX can be integrated into offices with a traditional phone network just as easily as into offices running modern IP networks for voice and data services. The software will also support any telephone handset that supports the SIP open standard – giving users a wide choice to suit their needs and their budgets – and is scaleable to suit businesses of all sizes:

• IP-PBX Small Office is designed for an office with up to 25 employees
• IP PBX SME is ideal for between 25 and 128 users
• IP PBX Corporate is for businesses with multiple ISDN 30 (PRI) services, serving up to 120 incoming lines and up to 500 employees

Telappliant IP-PBX software can be supplied by Telappliant on a CD or downloaded from www.voiptalk.org shortly. Telappliant IP PBX software pricing starts from just £15 per user, with system prices starting at £899. Options 24/7 support is available via Telappliant Support Services.

The Asterix PBX software can be downloaded for free from www.asterisk.org

“Software-based PBXs such as Telappliant IP PBX will revolutionise the way that enterprises communicate” said Tan Aksoy of Telappliant. “Internet Telephony is clearly the way forward for businesses today, enabling dramatic cost savings, advanced functionality, and making applications such as teleworking feasible for the first time”

"Digium is pleased to support Telappliant’s new IP-PBX offering”, said Mark Spencer, president of Digium and the author of Asterisk. “In the competitive market of VoIP equipment providers, we believe, this product based on Asterisk and Digium products will change the core of telephony. VoIP has come of age and now hits the mainstream arena of PBX offerings. Telappliant has hit the mark with this new product announcement."
