Smith On VoIP

If you are a hardware fan like I am, there are a few cool new things out.

1. Linksys WIP310 - This a new SIP based WiFi phone from Linksys. It comes with a slick color screen and it 802.11/g compliant.
2. SwitchVox AA60 Appliance - Digium owned SwitchVox announced their new SwitchVox appliance which will replace their tower design that is currently in distribution later this month. It is designed to meet the needs of the small business and seems to be their response to the trixbox appliance.
3. Aastra Astralink 160 - Based on a Asterisk, Aastra has released their own phone system that seems to replace their own Ventureip phone system that was very popular a few years back. Basic in features, much of the call control and configuration is done on the handset, not the phone system. Set-up to deployment in about 5 minutes.
4. IP EVO Xing - Old product, new strategy. According to the folks a IP EVO the once Skype only USB conferencing solution will be re-released in the next two months as an pen SIP based product. When it was available, it was a popular item. Look for demand to quadruple when it comes in an “open” version.
5. Zyxel SIP DECT - Zyxel had two different SIP DECT solutions on hand at their both. Neither of them where yet available, but they looked slick and had robust feature sets. More to come on this.

These are just some of the highlights from the first day. I should have more detailed postings about each offering as time permits in the near future.
