Asterisk as a Phone Switch (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 (POST), and digital (T1/E1/J1/BRI)
connections.
Asterisk runs on a wide variety of operating systems including Linux,
Mac OS X, OpenBSD, and Sun Solaris. It 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.
