SipFoundry PBX installaton services

In a great announcement to support the notion that PBX’s are not going anywhere anytime soon, UK based OnRelay has announced the General Availability of its Mobile PBX solution, Mobile MBX.  Mobile MBX is based on SipFoundry’s Sipxecs Open Source product.  This is great news for PBX technicians, and companies everywhere as it demonstrates the need for PBX, and even shows how the features offered by them are making their way into the cellular network as OnRelay provides their cellular users the same features enjoyed in most office based PBX systems.

Of course this is just the beginning of something great.  Legacy PBX’s will need to provide the same features and functionalities of the mobile phone or phase retirement.  Current PBX technicians not familiar with SIP based systems need to learn them now.  Sipfoundry is a great product to cut your teeth on, because it is feature rich, and has a great many followers.

Technicians can learn the features of SipFoundry, which runs on several flavors of Linux rather quickly, with support from local telecommunications companies that specialize in the deployment of Open Source products.  One such company is Misiu Systems, that offers installation, configuration and deployment of SipFoundry SipXecs to small and medium businesses throughout the United States.   Their unique proposal is the delivery of a fully configured PBX in a server, ready to be plugged in and cut over by a local telephone technician that doesn’t need to be an expert on the system. 

Remote configuration, support and monitoring can be performed by contract staff, while the local hands on work is completed by the same technician that has performed duties on teh corporate communications systems for years.  This model provides a great level of support, while limiting the licensing fees of many of the products on the market today.  Over time, the local technician learns the system and takes on more responsibility of the system, providing a smooth transition to the most cost effective solutions available.

This model seems ideal for todays business that is concerned about costs.  Added savings from the use of SIP trunks that terminate directly on SipFoundry rack up more savings to lower the total cost of ownership in todays VOIP PBX crazy world. 

Legacy techs - read - this is a good day to be in PBX services.  Find a partner, and move forward with your customers.

Check out this video on SUTUS, a Canadian manufacturer of an All-In-One PBX that includes VPN, ethernet POE switch, firewall, PBX, email, and file server.  Pretty incredible.  The best part of this system that is getting rave reviews is its simplicity in setting up.  Old Geezer PBX techs or Key System techs can install this easily, without training, and can create customers for life.

The system uses Polycom phones, comes with a three port FXO media gateway to support local trunks, as well as one fax port.  It supports VOIP trunks from about 6-8 different providers, and support for the SIP trunks is included.
Autoattendant, Voicemail, Web, Ethernet Switch, POE ports, traffic shaping, VPN!  What more could a small business need to get off the ground!  Incredible.
