EasySpeak PBX, Asterisk Based PBX released

MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Born to remove the complexity of VoIP solutions, Simicomm today announced the final version of its EasySpeak PBX. The product is available for a one time fee or a $50 monthly lease option (paid off in just 24 months). The leasing option eliminates the large upfront costs that deterred many small businesses from migrating to VoIP-based phone systems. EasySpeak PBX, however, still has the features and functionality of most high-end VoIP solutions.

Designed for small businesses and resellers looking for hassle free installation, the EasySpeak software can be completely installed, including fully automated phone configuration, in only 15 minutes! Place a CD into a dedicated server and the software self installs. Plug your phone line into the server, plug your phones into the Ethernet ports and phones (Polycom, snom, Linksys and others) are auto-provisioned automatically and given an extension number based on the order they are connected (1st plugged in is extension 101, 2nd is 102, etc.).

Based on the Asterisk® open source PBX, EasySpeak works with both VoIP and analog phones. To use analog phones, a line card from Digium or Sangoma is required. Changing of extensions and management of other features can be made by logging into the novice-tested, web-based toolbox.

Even though other Asterisk-based systems may cost less initially, they require extensive knowledge of Asterisk. These Asterisk specialists are not readily available to small businesses, and the high cost expertise necessary to set up and support a base Asterisk system results in increased costs, noted Dennis Barnum, CEO of Simicomm. Customers need to be aware of these hidden costs, as well as additional proprietary hardware costs.

EasySpeak (230 MB file) can be downloaded at www.simicomm.com. A free 14-day trial is also available for a limited time.
