Kamailio – OpenSER, InfoWorld 2009 Best Open Source Software Awards winner

Kamailio is the open source SIP proxy server formerly known as OpenSER. Used with an Asterisk IP PBX server for phone features, plus a hardware gateway for connection to the outside world, Kamailio brings important call handling and scalability benefits to Asterisk, while also removing the Asterisk server as a single point of failure. Larger organizations get the phone features they need, as well as the added safety of VoIP calls surviving an Asterisk server outage. Congratulations to the whole Kamailio.org development team from I6NET!

IVR provides Speech Self-Services: In a Time of Economic Uncertainty

IVR technologies have been used for long time to help human call centers to manage better their internal resources (welcome mensages, call routing, call forwarding, queues’ menus…) than to provide services to callers as: Speech self-services. This interesting article is talking about the current wind of change of IVR usage. At I6NET, most of our main VXI* business cases are coming from Speech Self-services implementations where the open standard VoiceXML language is a high value-added technology to build advanced machine-human dialogs for many business processes. In a time of economic uncertainty, when managers are being asked to do more with less, and when cost cutting has become the norm, the ability for IVR (Interactive Voice Response) to assist in accomplishing these objectives has never been more obvious. Managers are being forced to make difficult choices between high-touch experience delivered by […]

S-Prize: an Asterisk over 10000 Call Legs with 1 Instance!

This very insteresting challenge from Digium for next Astricon 2009, seems to have a winner. We are very happy of that great new! The first person to get an Asterisk system moving 10,000 G.711 call legs through a single instance on a single machine will get a first-class steak dinner at Astricon.  And a great bottle of wine, if that is your preference. This isn’t an X-prize, but the concept is the same – think of it as an S-prize.  ”S” means “Steak”.  Or maybe “Salad” if you’re a vegetarian. […] Ten thousand channels sounds like a lot, and it is.  But it can be done, and is already done with custom hardware from closed-source vendors. Open Source Asterisk has not been yet tested at anywhere near that high capacity, though attempts have been made in the thousands of channel […]

Asterisk PBX Server’s Benchmarks from TransNexus

Thanks to Jim Dalton from TransNexus for these Benchmarks of Asterisk PBX. Most of our customers want to tune their Asterisk Server in order to get the maximum VoIP call performance with VXI* and they need information about the Asterisk kernel behavior during a stress test. We have added our data about VXI* process %CPU utilization. Of course, it’s an average estimation, because VoiceXML applications can execute very different XML dialogs for each call and can require codec translation too; but the VXI* VoiceXML addon for Asterisk use few CPU compare to the PBX for most of voice interactive applications. Diagrams shows % CPU utilization vs Ports (simultaneous calls) – g711 no codec translation TransNexus document describes a benchmark test and performance results for a standard Asterisk PBX 1.4 working as B2BUA (Back-to-Back User Agent).  The purpose of this stress […]

10th anniversary of VoiceXML, the W3C speech-based interactive application standard mark-up language

Today Agust 25, 2009; marks the 10th anniversary of “the first draft of VoiceXML” (meaning Rev 0.9). There is no question that the W3C-sanctioned standard for a mark-up language for developers of speech-based interactive applications is what makes “Telephony 2.0” possible. With VoiceXML you have all you need to build the sorts of ‘rich phone apps’ at the root of better customer self-service, as well as mobile versions of popular search, messaging and social networking applications. According to OpusResearch  “Foundations” report (issued earlier this year), that businesses will spend roughly $2 billion on speech applications and platforms (both on premises and “in the cloud). Even in this chilly world economy, we see low, double-digit growth in spending as the well-defined standard, coupled with well understood API’s into mature “platforms” fosters proliferation of truly useful (and usable) multi-modal applications that integrate […]

OpusReseach – Foundations 2009: Voice Self-Service Meets Web 2.0

According to opusresearch; Phone-based self-service has taken on new meaning as phones morph into multi-functional wireless devices and contact center functions are distributed throughout the globe. Conversational Access Technologies now involve asynchronous interaction among individuals using Web services over the phone lines. Adding the human touch to traditionally automated self-service activities gives companies the option to leverage existing staff and IT infrastructure or outsource operations to managed or hosted service providers. By Dan Miller This very interesting report includes a PDF summary to download. Source: Foundations 2009: Voice Self-Service Meets Web 2.0
