Asterisk and Open-Source IP-PBX Deployments - Market Requirements

In today’s enterprise markets, more and more companies are deploying open-source IP-PBXs, such as Asterisk, and other SIP-based communications servers in their networks. Developers and resellers of such systems need to be able to complement the central IP-PBX with other network elements that will provide their customers with a full solution.

There are many aspects that need to be considered when deploying an enterprise communications system based on an open-source IP-PBX. These include:

• Selecting a platform to host the IP-PBX
• Connecting the IP-PBX to existing telephony systems, the PSTN, and/or SIP trunks
• Connecting existing analog and IP phones
• Providing data networking functionality
• Ensuring that high quality voice communications are maintained
• Providing connectivity to users in remote offices with survivability
• Enabling connectivity for mobile users
