A new report from Light Reading’s VoIP Services Insider says that more network operators and enterprises are using SIP trunking as a way to lower expenses for IP networks.

“As enterprises and service providers increasingly seek ways to drive costs down and improve the quality of their networks, the implementation of SIP trunking will continue to increase,” says Denise Culver, research analyst with Light Reading’s VOIP Services Insider and author of the report. “The desire to save money will be the biggest driver. Following closely behind are the increasing demands for unified communications, as well as demands for improved voice and data services.”

However, some vendors remain concerned about security.

“Despite the continual growth of SIP trunking, vendors have their work cut out for them,” Culver said. “Many potential SIP trunking candidates are wary of the technology because of security issues, which is similar to any application that opens a network to the Internet. However, there are ways to maximize security.”

A Source forge based Open Source project has developed an Management Gui for the IPPBX, Asterisk. I know all of you will say Go for Trixbox (I am already there ;)) but I want to give exposure to all applications that enhance Asterisk. I have not tried the product yet an all information I am providing is based on VoiceOne website.
The current release is 0.4.2. If you are a code Guru, you can grab the SVN version from the Sourceforge site.
From the outlook of the product, it seems promising. The interface is based on PHP and even though it is in it’s infancy many a features listed below are functional. They have an online demo that you could test out application and the function. Since these interfaces to Asterisk are personal tastes, some may prefer VoiceOne and asterisk to Trixbox!
Following are the feature list from the web site. So even if you already have Asterisk IPPBX management console, go check it out, give a boost to OSS developers.
* Client/Server architecture based on web services
* Relies on Asterisk real time Architecture (ARA) for database storage
* Two different panels, Personal for users and Configuration for administrators
* Extensions management
* Fully customizable users profile, including Voice mail, Call Forwarding ("Follow Me") and Do Not Disturb
* Highly configurable rule sets for outbound and inbound calls
* Static LCR (Least Cost Routing)
* Supports VoIP providers (SIP and IAX) and traditional Telco carriers
* Links remote offices via IAX with RSA public key encryption
* Powerful IVR creation system
* Queues management
* Conference rooms handling
* Sounds and Music On Hold management
* Applications and macros editor
* System Macros and Functions preloaded (DID/DDI, Call Back and DISA included)
* Plugins system to share ready-to-use macros and application with the VoiceOne community
* Powerful configuration of mISDN and Zap drivers based hardware
* Java SIP phone embedded

According to a news report by Business wire, VOXBONE, A worldwide Virtual Number provider, will support Asterisk IAX (IAX™ (Inter-Asterisk Exchange)) trunking. IAX is the native communication protocol for Asterisk. It is used to connect between Asterisk IPPBX server (server to server) and Server to Clients that support IAX.
According to Rodrigue Ullens, co-founder of Voxbone, "By adding support for IAX, we are responding to strong demand from customers. IAX is completely plug and play, and optimized for Asterisk platforms. It also offers integrated security and consumes less bandwidth while offering the same high quality as SIP. Customers now have a choice of two popular standards from which they can choose."
Voxbone leases international VoIP virtual phone numbers and worldwide origination services via VoIP to organizations in North and South America, Europe and Asia/Pacific regions.

Voxbone is the leading VoIP carrier providing centralized access to DID and toll-free numbers around the world. Headquartered in Brussels Belgium, it has expanded its VoIP backbone from Europe to America and recently to Asia. The Voxbone network covers more than 4,000 cities in roughly 50 countries and is expanding its coverage. The switchless architecture of the Voxbone network enables customers to realize the benefits of IP communications by rapidly deploying new services with local presence and simultaneously reducing costs.
