About Digium Digium is the creator and primary developer of Asterisk, the industry's first open source PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). for the Linux operating system and Asterisk Business Edition, the professional-grade version of Asterisk. Used in combination with Digium's PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). telephony interface cards, Asterisk offers a strategic, highly cost-effective approach to voice and data transport over TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. , switched, and Ethernet architectures. Digium solutions reduce the costs of traditional TDM and VoIP implementations through open source, standards-based software and next-generation gateways, media servers, and application servers. Digium hardware supports traditional voice protocols, including PRI PRI: see Institutional Revolutionary party. (Primary Rate Interface) An ISDN service that provides 23 64 Kbps B (Bearer) channels and one 64 Kbps D (Data) channel (23B+D), which is equivalent to the 24 channels of a T1 line. , RBS, FXS, FXO, E&M, Feature Group D, Groundstart, Loopstart, and GR-303. Data protocols include PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Developed in 1994 by the IETF and superseding the SLIP protocol, PPP establishes the session between the user's computer and the ISP using , Cisco HDLC, and Frame Relay. For packet voice, Asterisk supports IAX(TM) (Inter-Asterisk eXchange), SIP, MGCP See MGCP/MEGACO. MGCP - Media Gateway Control Protocol , Cisco Skinny(R) (SCCP (Signaling Connection Control Point) A layer 3 protocol in an SS7 network that routes a message to the appropriate database. SCCP is used in conjunction with the TCAP protocol for sending queries to databases. See SS7 and TCAP. See also SSCP. ), and H.323 VoIP protocols. About Asterisk Code for Asterisk, originally written by Mark Spencer of Digium Inc., has been contributed from open source software engineers around the world. It supports a wide range of TDM protocols for the handling and transmission of voice over traditional telephony interfaces. It also supports US and European standard signaling types used in standard business phone systems, allowing it to bridge between next-generation voice-data integrated networks and existing infrastructure. Using the Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX(TM)) Voice over IP protocol, Asterisk merges voice and data traffic seamlessly across disparate networks. While using packet voice, it is possible to send data such as URL URL in full Uniform Resource Locator Address of a resource on the Internet. The resource can be any type of file stored on a server, such as a Web page, a text file, a graphics file, or an application program. addresses and images in-line with voice traffic, allowing advanced integration of information.
