Digium Switchvox 4.0 is the groundbreaking new version of the feature-rich, cost-effective IP PBX based on Asterisk, the most downloaded open source telephony software in the world created and maintained by Digium. Designed for small- to mid-sized businesses (SMBs), Switchvox’s unique Web-aware capabilities allow its integration with Web- and back-office applications, turning the phone system into a powerful unified communications (UC) platform. For the first time, advanced UC features are available to SMBs at a fraction of the cost of traditional PBXs.

“Outstanding companies like Digium with their award winning solutions, help to validate ITEXPO’s status as the leading forum in the communications industry,” said TMC President and Conference Chairman, Rich Tehrani. “Service providers, enterprise buyers, developers and resellers come to ITEXPO, because they know they’ll find solutions, from innovative companies like Digium that can help their businesses today.”

“Digium is honored to receive the ‘Most Innovative Product’ award for Switchvox 4.0, a feature-rich solution that delivers key UC capabilities without the proprietary company price tag,” said Tristan Degenhardt, Switchvox product line director at Digium.

The INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO Best of Show Award recognizes innovative products and solutions that were featured in the Exhibit Hall during the event.
