For some time now we have been eagerly waiting for a new line of Atcom PBX’s that can handle one or more GSM modules. The wait is finally over, the first few units has already come of the assembly line and will be available through our web shop in the very near future. There are currently 3 models available, all based on the same motherboard and steel chassis; IP-4G (4 GSM), IP-2G4A (2 GSM 4 Analogue) and IP-2G4B (2 GSM 4 BRI). Another model with 4 Analogue and 4 BRI (IP-4A4B) will be available in the near future.

UPDATE: Just got a call from Ruben, he has shared his thoughts about these PBX’s here. As always, it’s well worth reading!

It is official! We are now duly registered in the UK under the name VoIPtel Europe Ltd., and branch offices in no less than three countries on two continents are in the works. New websites  (.com and .eu) are under development. And I have good news for everybody who prefer to use VoIPtel SE; a new registration site will go online within the very near future. I will post the details as soon as everything are ready.

UPDATE: the site is online and available at http://voiptel-se.com

We recently signed a new contract with our dear friends at Atcom Technology Co. Ltd., the manufacturer of the famous IPxx series of PBX’s. They are now actively involved in the development and improvement of the VoIPtel firmware. There is no doubt that this will speed up the development of new features making the IPxx the preferred choice for a growing number of VoIP integrators.

And for those with special needs; there are no less than three new models almost ready for production:
IP-4B4A              Four BRI and 4 Analog ports IP PBX
IP-PRI                 Four digital ports (E1/T1) IP PBX
IP-4G                  Four GSM module IP PBX

I am one of those (very few) people who are not hooked on the iPhone. Don’t get me wrong, it looks like a very nice “toy”, and it has more features than a Swiss army knife. But like everything else it is far from perfect, and like almost everything from Apple it carries a rather high price. And you can’t use it as a VoIP client. Or???

In a recent blogpost called  Jailbroken iPhone + SipPhone = Asterisk Goodness Corey jailbrakes his iPhone (twice), install a few applications and voila, the iPhone has a SIP client and is ready to work as an Asterisk extension. Cool! Maybe it’s time to reconsider. Or maybe not, it’s still possible to brick it. And I am not very fond of bricks, at least not in the Apple price range.
