Free Asterisk Call Manager from Fonality Now Available; HUDlite Makes Asterisk More User-Friendly, Provides Real-Time Call Control and Presence Manage

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2006--Fonality, the leader in affordable, enterprise-class IP-PBX phone systems for small and medium businesses and the world's largest distributed deployment of Asterisk(TM), today announced the immediate availability of HUDlite, a free application for Asterisk that provides businesses with an intuitive, real-time call control and presence management platform. HUDlite, developed specifically to make the Asterisk Open Source PBX more user-friendly, is available for download at www.hudlite.org, a web site that also provides a user forum and documentation.


"Free HUDlite helps bring Asterisk to the masses, making it much easier to use and even more powerful," said Chris Lyman, Fonality's founder and CEO. "Fonality has benefited so much from the Asterisk movement. We are excited to finally give back."

Through an intuitive desktop interface that runs on XP, Mac or Linux desktops, users of HUDlite can see when other employees are on calls, to whom they are talking and whether calls are internal, external or in a queue -- even if the employees are not in the office.

HUD was announced in March at the VON Conference. In that news release, Mark Spencer, president of Digium and creator of Asterisk, made the following comment about HUD: "Fonality's new HUD application provides Asterisk users with an innovative and extremely productive way to improve their operations with call presence awareness and call management."


The easy-to-use features of HUDlite include:

Drag-and-Drop Calling - call external numbers, internal
extensions and numbers listed on websites and in documents by
dragging and dropping numbers on HUDlite

Real-Time Call Controls - use a mouse to quickly transfer
calls to employees and to voicemail, place calls in a general
parking area, even put calls on hold and tag them with notes

Call Monitor/Barge - barge or passively monitor inbound and
outbound calls and better manage high call volumes, such as
those in call centers

On-the-Fly Recording - allow employees and their managers to
record calls with the press of a button - another required
feature for call centers and for specific markets including
legal and medical


HUDpro, the commercial version of HUD, is also available from Fonality and provides additional features, including advanced multi-hierarchical permission systems, enterprise-class secure instant messaging, mobile phone contact, Outlook integration, CRM integration with screen pops, and comes pre-installed and configured by Fonality's support team.

Pricing and Availability

HUDlite, for the Asterisk Open Source PBX platform, is available for free for immediate download at www.hudlite.org. It supports Windows XP, Macintosh and Linux desktop operating systems.

HUDpro, for Fonality's award-winning PBXtra, is $995 for an unlimited seat license that includes full support and configuration. It is available now for Windows XP and Mac desktops and will be available this summer for Linux. For more information on HUDpro or PBXtra, visit www.fonality.com.

VoIP the Sky is the limit!

Forget mobile phones for air travel, the United States Federal Communications Commission has just completed an auction of airspace airwaves which will see wireless internet made available on US flights.

Two pieces of mile high spectrum were offered up by the FCC, one band at 1MHz and another at 3MHz. The incumbent licensor of the frequency, and operator of the US Airfone service, Verizon declined to bid through to the end of the drawn out auction process and will subsequently have to give up its control over the airwaves on airlines.

The new licensees are expected to offer in-flight phone calling, Internet access and entertainment services based on IP technology, which will lead the way open for VoIP calls from aircraft.

A subsidiary of JetBlue Airways called LiveTV secured the 1MHz spectrum, while a company called AirCell secured the larger 3MHz band.

While JetBlue paid US$7 million for its piece of spectrum, AirCell paid more than US$31 million for its licence according to Internet reports.

It won’t be the first time Internet has been offered on passenger jets, Boeing has its own in-flight broadband on international flights which it makes available to other airlines. That system uses satellite links rather than the air-to-ground links up for auction in the US.

Open Source VoIP - Is it there?

Despite drawbacks, open source IVRs, PBXs and VoIP gateways present all sorts of excellent cost savings opportunities -- on toll, trunking, hardware, management and more. It is these savings opportunities that will continue to drive more IP telephony experimentation and adoption -- but will they drive open source and IP telephony any closer together?

VoIP Right for your Enterprise?

Voice over IP communication systems are affordable, reasonably mature, and offer features and integration into business processes that could only be dreamed about in previous decades. Yet VoIP hasn’t displaced traditional PBXes in many small enterprises. We’ll discuss many of the reasons VoIP has failed to become the dominant voice technology for smaller enterprises, as well as help you in evaluating whether your small to midsized enterprise is a suitable candidate for a VoIP system.
