World’s Smallest PBX

by alec on October 18, 2005

There you have it — Asterisk on the Gumstix SBC.  Having said that, it’s not actually doing anything with the media.  It’s a basic voice router, and that has been done before.  If you recall, IPTel had SER running on an iPaq at one point. 

Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints.

A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

It actually does process the media, it just doesn’t transcode (but it CAN – and that’s the point). You also have access to Asterisk’s rich applications – Voicemail, etc. My original intended application was for a SIP -> IAX proxy. Quite different from SER!
