From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Moved from article 100 Percent SIP PBX ; sipXpbx
The following is an identical copy of the page 100 Percent SIP PBX ; sipXpbx as it was edited on 8 July 2005. That article is to be deleted (or if the vfd fails, certainly redirected), so the below information ought to be integrated into this article.
100 Percent SIP PBX - sipXpbx: The PBX for Linux is an open source software implementation of a telephone private branch exchange (PBX) based entirely on SIP. In addition to traditional PBX functionality, it can support and unify native SIP applications and equipment. By leveraging SIP based endpoints and PSTN media gateways, powerful communications systems can be created quickly and seamlessly to match a companies specific requirements.
sipXpbx is free software under a Lesser General Public License (LGPL) license. sipXpbx is a project located at SIPfounry.org. SIPfoundry is home to many projects based on SIP where many of the developers and all of the project leaders have significant industry, development, and IETF SIP backgrounds.
sipXpbx is available to developers in source code format and is also available as an easy install binary for users. Documentation is provided to assist users in bringing up there own systems. If support is required, Pingtel (the RedHat of Voice over IP ), offers economical support packages and enterprise-grade software distributions to insure the reliability of production deployments.
sipXpbx supports all basic PBX features indluding, auto attendant, voice mail, and unified messaging. Interoperability with several leading SIP phones (Polycom, Cisco, Grandstream, Sipura, snom) and media gateways(AudioCodes, Vegastream, Quintum,Medatrix, Cisco) is available.
[edit] External links
I've done some minor edits to make some of sipX's features clearer. Some might be considered puffery (and I work on sipX), but they are valid technical features (mostly inherited from the fact that sipX uses SIP internally as well as externally), and affect both is strengths and weaknesses as a PBX.
I inserted a reference to the commercial version available from Pingtel, which someone had deleted in a previous edit. But my reference is less gaudy than the previous reference, and as the Digium version of Asterisk PBX and the Red Hat version of Linux are discussed in Wikipedia, this seems to be well within accepted practice.
