The sipXecs IP PBX is a native SIP based solution that offers all the typical features expected from a PBX, including voicemail, unified messaging, auto-attendant, conferencing, presence and call center capabilities. The sipXecs IP PBX can be deployed on a single server for smaller installations or as a distributed and optionally redundant system for larger deployments.

The sipXecs IP PBX developer community is strong and growing. The sipXecs IP PBX has built kind of a reputation for being easy to use, scalable and of high quality. In addition, sipXecs IP PBX is a unified communications solution, not just an IP PBX. It runs on the Linux operating system, is available for x86 and PowerPC, for 32 bit as well as 64 bit operating systems. The sipXecs IP PBX project was started in 2004 based on an initial significant code contribution from Pingtel Corp. The first open source release was 2.8 and the first release that provided a functional IP PBX was 3.0 released at the end of 2005. Subsequent releases 3.2, 3.4, 3.6, 3.8 and 3.10 provided significant improvements and many new features. Release 4.0 was made public in May 2009 and is the first release that allows creation of a fully distributed, centrally managed IP PBX system. The sipXecs IP PBX effort aims at providing a fully capable open source unified communications solution for the mid-enterprise market. The mid-enterprise market ranges from a few hundred users to several ten thousand users, typically located in different buildings, locations or countries. Amazon.com has been an early user of sipXecs worldwide. Currently (2009), Amazon.com uses sipXecs worldwide for over 6,000 employees. sipXecs, of course, can also be used for much smaller deployments. It's easy to setup and use. |
