Overview
There are myriad VoIP phones on the market that people use with Asterisk. None of them are built specifically for Asterisk, so they don’t take any
particular advantage of Asterisk’s applications. And, each one of them is too difficult to use.
Digium has designed phones to provide a superior user experience for everyone; from the person making the calls, to the person setting up the
phone. Phones aren’t hard, like everyone thinks that are, and they’re not dumb terminals; instead, they’re simple and smart.
A Digium phone can communicate with Asterisk, or with any other SIP-based system. In this respect, a Digium phone is somewhat like other SIP
phones. In order to provide more than just the capabilities of a regular SIP phone, Digium makes available the Digium Phone Module for Asterisk
(DPMA). The DPMA is a binary Asterisk module that provides a secure communications channel for Digium phones and Asterisk. This secure
channel provided by the DPMA is used by Asterisk to provision and manage Digium phones, and by the phones to directly access Asterisk's
internals - leading to a richer set of phone applications, and happier users.
