VoIP PBX

The new version of Trixbox CE has been released and is based on CentOS 5.1 and Asterisk 1.4: this is the greatest feature of this release than previous.

One of the main problems of previous versions was the lack of hardware support for new systems, especially for Dell platforms. All this has now been resolved with version 2.4 and is now based on the latest CentOS 5.1 kernel, which provides support to many motherboards, network cards, and hardware such as RAID controllers.

Another important new feature is the presence of "high resolution timers" in-kernel: in this way is to drop the need for a timing mechanism on the PCI bus (eg that of the USB bus) making it easier to use in Trixbox virtualized systems such as Xen or VMWare.

The use of Asterisk 1.4 Trixbox makes available in the following characteristics:

• Generic JitterBuffer - improves the quality of a call in case of network congestion.
• AEL Version 2 - simplifies programming Asterisk Extensions Language and configuring the dialplan.
• T.38 FoIP protocol-management pass-through.
• Jabber/Jingle/GoogleTalk- protocol-level compatibility with networks Jabber, Jingle, and Google Talk.
• Increased language capabilities-improved support for English, Spanish and French (introduced new sounds and improved support to the structure of words).
• "Unified Messaging" - voicemail, email, and fax services are centralized in a single mailbox where users can send, receive and manage all their messages using any communication devices provided by the system. * Enhanced support of DTMF standard rfc2833
• Fax Support - Fax Support also improved, especially for users of analogue or digital.
