Asterisk PBX supports a wide range of TDM protocols for the handling and transmission of voice over traditional telephony interfaces, and VoIP packet protocols such as IAX, SIP and H.323. Hosted Asterisk supports US and European standard signaling types used in business phone systems, allowing it to bridge between next-generation voice-data integrated networks and existing infrastructure. Asterisk VOIP software hosting can connect to both SIP and IAX VoIP “trunks.”
Hosted Asterisk VOIP PBX software sports a bundle of features such as voice mailing, conference calling, interactive voice response (phone menus), and automatic call distribution. Want to automate, track and manage your customer calls? Want to schedule outbound calls? Want to create instant interactive calls? Want to combine any phones with Asterisk PBX? Now you will get all this together under one application.
By implementing Asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI) program, users can create new functionality by writing dial plan scripts in several of Asterisk PBX’s own extensions languages.
Hosted Asterisk PBX supports a wide range of Video and Voice over IP protocols, including SIP, MGCP and H.323. Asterisk Hosting can interoperate with most SIP telephones, acting both as registrar and as a gateway between IP phones and the PSTN. VoIP telephone companies can, as an option, support Asterisk as a user agent or trunked connection with the IAX2 or SIP trunking protocols along with ATAs and other software user agents.
Hosted Asterisk PBX is not only a VOIP hosting solution but it also supports many traditional circuit-switching protocols such as ISDN and SS7. This requires appropriate hardware interface cards supporting such protocols, marketed by third-party vendors. Each protocol requires the installation of software modules such as Zaptel, Libpri, Libss7, chanss7, wanpipe and others. With these features, Asterisk Hosting provides a wide spectrum of communications options.
