[AusNOG] IP Phone System

[Michael Junek]

Hi Henry,

For open source your best bet is Asterisk. If you use one of the derivitives such as FreePBX, you'll even get a nice Web based front end for management rather than messing with configuration files.

From the paid solutions:
Skype for Business if you're a Microsoft shop.
Most other manufacturers produce IP based physical platforms,  Avaya, MiTel, Panasonic, NEC, Samsung, Alcatel. These range from physical hardware similar to virtual machine based software controllers.

There are also a range of hosted IP systems where the provider will drop a link into your office,  throw some phones on your desks and then all the  PSTN carriage as well as platform management are handled by them.

As so the suitability of any of the platforms,  this obviously depends on the size of your installation,  the in house skills you may have,  as well as the features you may require.

Michael

Hallo,

My institution is looking at installing an IP Phone system and we are welcome to ideas. Apart from Cisco and Shoretel are there any alternatives, open source especially.

Thanks,

Henry
