Identifying the strength of Asterisk, the revenue of Switchvox, and the popularity of Astricon, iLocus predicts the next VoIP company to go public will be Digium. Of course, we believe that if you can put 5 hyperlinks in the first sentence, you should just stop and let the hyperlinks do the talking. We have been in a non-stock buying mode, but an IPO from Digium might just change our minds.

Digium announced today the release of Asterisk version 1.4.21.2 (as well as version 1.2.30). These releases address security issues with the IAX2 channel driver. More details of course can be obtained from the asterisk.org website. As always, you can download the updates free from the asterisk.org website.
Why free? It’s just how Digium rolls. They really take that GPL open source to heart.

Digium announced today the release of Asterisk version 1.4.21.1. The release is a “ bug fix” for the voip telephone system and is available, as always, free from the asterisk.org website. This includes a critical bug fix for 1.4.21. All users that experienced lockups when upgrading to 1.4.21 should have their issues resolved with this update.
To paraphrase Spinal Tap, this is 1 better than 1.4.21 — this is 1.4.21.1.

Well, even though it happened back on June 11th, Digium posted on their blog today a recent award the Switchbox SMB 3.5 received from TMC Labs.
With the 2008 Internet Telephony awards, TMC Labs honored products that demonstrated significant contributions towards improving communications. For the past 9 years, awards have been given to products that TMC Labs finds “truly innovating.”
Digium better be building a new trophy case — it’s only the end of June and they’ve already racked some significant bling. Along with the TMC innovation award, Switchvox also was named the 2008 Unified Communication product of the year. Not to mention being named Best of Show for IT East. (Did we mention Switchvox has a free version?)
And let’s not forget Asterisk. So far this year, Asterisk was named 2008’s Best IP PBX by Infoworld as well as a Product Leadership award from Searchnetworking.
Not to be outdone, Voip Tech Chat was recently awarded the Most Likely to get a Restraining Order from Ben Affleck award.
Critical Links, makers of EdgeBox, announced that Digium will be the exclusive provider of Asterisk-compatible analog and digital PCI and PCIe telephony boards for the EdgeBox product line.
edgeBOX is an “office-in-a-box” appliance that provides a complete voice, data and IT solution for SMEs and enterprise branch offices out of a single box. Basically, an all-in-one system for your office.
Asterisk, of course, is the world’s leading open-source VoIP / PBX system from Digium.

VoIP Insider posted an article on what could be the most amazing phone product we’ve seen this year. Forget magicjack, don’t even think about VoIP trunking, when you want to phone that junk for the trunk… you need to use the BootyDialer.
Keynote determined (based on testing providers such as Packet8, Vonage, Verizon VoiceWing, Lingo, etc.) that most VoIP users can expect “merely tolerable” telephone service when compared to an at&t POTS line.
One of the VoIP providers tested failed to achieve any calls with an MOS score of 4.0 or better (ouch).
Why did Voip Tech Chat wait more than a month to post this news? Patrick and Fred were too busy talking about Lifelock and Ben Affleck movies.
Dean Collins introduced the Vdex-40 today on the Voip Users Conference. The device provides small business (think 30 or less extensions) with a great tool for lowering phone costs. Simply connect your ATA, IP phone, or SIP device to this embedded Asterisk box and BOOM!, there goes the dynamite.
The included GUI allows for creation of extensions, IVR’s, and many other asterisk features. With 4 ports to connect to existing POTS telephone lines (FXO), the device will work as either a VoIP (internet) gateway, an office PBX, or both. We love the size of this device.
We may have to pick one of these up and put it through the ultimate test — seeing if Fred’s dad can use it.
Digium announced today the release of Asterisk version 1.4.21. The release is a “regular bug fix” for the voip telephone system and is available, as always, free from the asterisk.org website.
