Where does it fit?
Asterisk is an enabling technology tailored for a variety of vertical markets. Asterisk solves a wide range of challenges, from common PBX and key system replacements to highly-specialized VOIP enabled applications.
Asterisk is a complete telecommunications platform and represents a highly valuable piece of software for a number of reasons:
extreme cost reduction combined with low-cost Linux® telephony hardware, Asterisk can be used to create a PBX at a fraction of the price of traditional PBX and key systems, while providing a level of functionality exceeding that of many of the most expensive systems available.
control of your phone system. Once a call is in a Linux® box with Asterisk, anything can be done to it. In the same way that Apache gives the user fine-grained control over virtually every aspect of its operation (and its Open Source nature gives even more flexibility), the same applies to Asterisk.
rapid deployment and development of your PBX and IVR applications. Its powerful CLI and text configuration files allow both rapid configuration and real-time diagnostics.
rich broad feature base provides features such as voicemail, voice menus, IVR and conferencing which are very expensive for proprietary systems, and also allows new features to be added rapidly and with minimal effort.
Asterisk As A PBX
Asterisk can be configured as the core of an IP or hybrid PBX, switching calls, managing routes, enabling features, and connecting callers with the outside world over IP, analog (POTS), and digital (T1/E1) connections.
Asterisk provides all of the features you would expect from a PBX including many advanced features that are often associated with high end (and high cost) proprietary PBXs. Asterisk's architecture is designed for maximum flexibility and supports Voice over IP in many protocols, and can interoperate with almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive hardware.
Asterisk As A Gateway
It can also be built out as the heart of a media gateway, bridging the legacy PSTN to the expanding world of IP telephony. Asterisk’s modular architecture allows it to convert between a wide range of communications protocols and media codecs. Asterisk as a feature/media server.
Need an IVR? Asterisk’s got you covered. How about a conference bridge? Yep. It’s in there. What about an automated attendant? Asterisk does that too. How about a replacement for your aging legacy voicemail system? Can do. Unified messaging? No problem. Need a telephony interface for your web site? Ok.
Asterisk In The Call Center
Asterisk has been adopted by call centers around the world based on its flexibility. Call center and contact center developers have built complete ACD systems based on Asterisk.
