Asterisk is a powerful, flexible, and customizeable open source IP telephone system.
Asterisk is software based, rather than hardware based. This offers major advantages when it comes to scalability - an Asterisk telephone system can be easily and quickly upgraded and scaled as business needs change.
The Asterisk system communicates using the SIP protocol. SIP is an industry standard protocol used by the vast majority of Voice over IP telephone handsets and devices. This allows equipment from different vendors to work together on a single system and eliminates the frustration of being limited to a single vendor's handsets, speakerphones, pager devices, and conference phones.
Asterisk can be implemented as a "full VOIP" system, meaning that calls are delivered in and out of your business via the Internet. However, the system can also interface with existing telephone lines, providing the benefits of Voice over IP within your office with the reliability of telephone service from your existing carrier.
