March 19, 2007; 05:47 AM
Fonality®, a leading open source telephony company, today announced the release of trixbox 2.2, the latest version of the Asterisk®-based telephony platform. With this release trixboxers have the option to deploy the new Asterisk GUI (graphical user interface), a Digium user interface from the AsteriskNow™ distribution. The additional GUI provides trixboxers with another choice in the free Asterisk GUI market.

Other new trixbox 2.2 features include enhanced call reporting and an integrated network configuration tool. The new reporting feature allows managers to view and export detailed reports about inbound and outbound calls, and includes a click-to-listen capability for recorded calls. Also new is broader TDM card support, including built-in drivers for Sangoma and Rhino cards, to ease trixbox configuration. trixbox 2.2 also includes a new administration screen that provides a quick view of things like network and memory usage, process status and phone status.

Starting today, new trixbox support packages will be made available to the trixbox and Asterisk community. Support can be purchased on an annual basis for holistic support of a complete site deployment, or in hourly increments for ad hoc support. Professional grade technical support ensures that a reliable trixbox engineer is always just a phone call away.

“trixbox 2.2 speaks directly to the openness of our platform,” said Andrew Gillis, founder of trixbox and director of community development at Fonality. “And we are thrilled to finally provide the trixbox and Asterisk community with tech support no matter what type of line card they are using.”
