PIKA for Asterisk Now Compatible with Fonality's trixbox CE
By Susan J. Campbell TMCnet Contributing Editor
PIKA Technologies Inc., a developer of media-processing hardware and software, has announced today that its PIKA for Asterisk (News - Alert) family of analog and digital boards is now compatible with Fonality’s trixbox CE, an Asterisk-based IP-PBX
product.
This latest announcement came in advances of PIKA’s planned participation in Internet Telephony’s (News - Alert) open Source Pavilllion in Miami, Florida, beginning today.
“We are excited to be working with Fonality and the trixbox CE team, one of the largest Asterisk application developers in the world,” said Terry Atwood, vice president of sales, marketing and customer care at PIKA, in a statement.
“Compatibility with trixbox CE opens a wider audience to PIKA’s robust media processing software and hardware, giving trixbox users more choice to add value to their product offerings”
The PIKA for Asterisk suite is constructed from a range of hardware and software products that are designed to support applications built on the open-source Asterisk platform. These building blocks aim to provide cost-effective, reliable network connectivity to bridge between legacy networks and Asterisk-based IP telephony applications.
Application developers are provided the flexibility they need to select the hardware that meets the particular needs of their application. This flexibility is due to the availability of the low-density PCI analog board, the analog FXO (trunk) and the FXS (station) boards and the PrimeNet digital T1/E1 boards.
The entire portfolio of PIKA for Asterisk boards supports the latest trixbox CE version 2.4, as well as the previous 2.2 version.
PIKA’s proven media-processing platform has been used to develop the full suite of Asterisk-based products. This includes hardware (DSP) and software-based echo cancellation that has been successfully deployed in thousands of installations around the world over the past seven years.
trixbox can be deployed in multiple configurations, including the Community Edition (CE) which launched in 2004 as Asterisk@Home and the newest commercial solution, trixbox Pro, a hybrid hosted solution that is designed to provide all the flexibility of the open-source concept with the added value and stability of a commercial solution.
trixbox Pro was recently named Product of the Year 2007 by Internet Telephony magazine.
An ongoing collaboration between trixbox and PIKA is in the works, with this being the first step. Fonality also plans to work with PIKA to get trixbox Pro running on PIKA Warp, the company’s out-of-the-box appliance for Asterisk. The companies are working on a development plan to bring this to market along with PIKA’s late spring launch of the Appliance.
“The combination of trixbox and PIKA brings a new range of connectivity options to the trixbox community,” said Kerry Garrison (News - Alert), trixbox Community Director at Fonality, in a statement.
“We look forward to building our relationship with PIKA and to providing our customers with new, reliable and affordable hardware options on which to deploy our solutions.”
This latest announcement for PIKA will help to extend the company’s reach into further markets as its compatibility with Fonality’s trixbox will extend the company’s portfolio. Asterisk continues to perform, thereby driving its own demand in the industry.
This co-branding between PIKA and trixbox will strengthen offerings for both companies, benefiting from the growth in demand and offering solutions that address enterprise challenges today and anticipated challenges of tomorrow.
