Turbolinux Launches Linux IP Phone System Products Including IP-PBX Starter Kit for Easy to Set-Up VoIP Phone Environment

Posted on: Thursday, 11 August 2005, 12:00 CDT

Turbolinux, Inc., a global leader of Linux-based solutions, today announced the sales launch of IP-Communication Server, a series of budget priced Linux IP phone system products for small to mid-sized businesses. The IP-Communication Server Series provides cost-effective products with all-in-one functions for a business system with voicemail capability for all phone extensions.

Due to the recent expansion and adoption of high capacity broadband, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones have experienced increased popularity and sales. Companies benefit from significant cost savings by integrating the data and voice network and see increased productivity through coordination with existing information systems. Turbolinux expects VoIP phone system demand to grow. Keeping up with the trend, Turbolinux formed an alliance with J.Link, Inc., an Internet telephony products developer, to co-develop the Linux IP phone system combined with PBX solutions.

There are two primary offerings within the IP Communication Server Series: IP-Communication Server LUTi IP-PBX, a VoIP PBX phone system for small and medium-scale businesses, fully compatible to NTT Docomo's FOMA/wireless LAN, and IP-Communication Server LUTi IP-ContactCenter, a call center system also for small and medium-scale businesses.

At the same time, Turbolinux will start selling IP-PBX Starter Kit, a kit that allows for easy set-up of the IP phone system. It includes all necessary hardware, software and support to enable a mobile centrex environment by combining FOMA/wireless LAN dual cell-phone, wireless LAN access point and VoIP gateway.
