The Asterisk Appliance Developer Kit


The Asterisk Appliance is a standalone embedded PBX. Targeted for small to medium businesses (2-50 users), and remote branch offices of larger organizations (2-50 users per site), the Digium Asterisk Appliance will feature the commercially licensed Asterisk Business Edition software and the first Digium-developed Asterisk GUI framework.
The Asterisk Appliance appears to take advantage of the Blackfin DSP's microcode programmability by implementing echo cancellation, and possibly other telephony functions, in hardware.
The Appliance's I/O includes eight analog ports (FXS, FXO), a WAN port, four LAN ports, hardware echo cancellation, and a "craft port" for debugging. Expansion is available through a CompactFlash slot suitable for voicemail storage cards or wireless radio peripherals.

The Asterisk Appliance Developer Kit was designed to allow developers to begin working on solutions based on the Asterisk Appliance before its general release. By developing new business applications using the AADK, kit adopters will have an opportunity to become authorized Asterisk Appliance Partners, qualifying for special programs, pricing and priority availability on production products built on this platform.
