Product Description

Featuring the first Digium-developed Asterisk GUI framework, the Asterisk Appliance will bring small to medium enterprises a feature-rich, cost-effective, reliable telephony solution.

The Asterisk Appliance is a standalone embedded PBX. Targeted for small to medium businesses (2-50 users), and remote branch offices of larger organizations (2-50 users per site), the Digium Asterisk Appliance will feature the commercially licensed Asterisk Business Edition software and the first Digium-developed Asterisk GUI framework. The Digium GUI framework provides simple, easy-to-use, basic configuration capabilities for open source developers to differentiate and customize their Asterisk-based solutions and applications. The Asterisk Appliance will also offer a hybrid solution alternative (a combination of VoIP applications using legacy telecom equipment) for enterprise customers who are not yet ready to migrate to a complete VoIP solution.

Digium®, The Asterisk Company, is providing the unique opportunity to obtain an Asterisk Appliance with the purchase of an Asterisk Appliance (AA). The AADK provides ITSPs, OEMs, resellers, and integrators with the components necessary to develop a turn-key telephony platform based on the Asterisk Appliance.
