JAMESBURG, N.J., May 8, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- VoicePulse Inc. today announced the immediate availability of an application programming interface (API) for the VoicePulse Connect for Asterisk service. The API allows developers of Asterisk-based products to seamlessly integrate with VoicePulse's provisioning and billing systems.
Asterisk is a complete PBX in software. It runs on Linux, BSD and Mac OSX and provides all of the features you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk does voice over IP in many protocols, and can interoperate with almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive hardware.
"Mature, stable products based on Asterisk are now available," said Ravi Sakaria, VoicePulse's president. "These user-friendly PBXs with intuitive user interfaces have been missing one piece -- tight integration with the service provider. Using the VoicePulse Connect for Asterisk API, developers of these products can, for the first time, develop a truly self-configuring phone system."
VoicePulse Connect for Asterisk customers can make and receive calls from anywhere in the world using the standard SIP protocol as well as Asterisk's own IAX protocol. Using the API, vendors can develop systems to auto-configure the PBX as well as allow customers to add and remove phone numbers, make payments and check their balance from within the PBX's own user interface.
The VoicePulse Connect for Asterisk service includes:
