Digium is the creator and driving force behind Asterisk, the open source telephony software deployed by more than four million servers worldwide to manage voice over IP (VoIP) calls for businesses and individuals. More resellers, telecom professionals and software developers choose Digium’s products than those of any other open source telephony company because only Digium delivers the technical superiority, security and flexibility associated with Asterisk. Asterisk powers Digium’s family of software and hardware appliances, including Switchvox™, Asterisk Business Edition™ and AsteriskNOW.

“Open source Asterisk provides the key IP telephony component of our edgeBOX feature set. In evaluating vendors of digital and analog telephony cards for Asterisk-based solutions, Digium was an obvious choice,” said Abdul Kasim, vice president, global business development and marketing, Critical Links. “Digium’s active support of open source Asterisk provides us with a low-cost VoIP development platform on which to develop our commercial value-added products. In evaluating card vendors, it became clear that no other vendor can match Digium’s total package of guaranteed quality, breadth of product, core Asterisk support capability, and connection to the Asterisk project.”

Critical Links is a global provider of converged voice, data and IT solutions for SMBs that dramatically simplify and cost-reduce by consolidating over a single scalable and fault-tolerant platform.

The partnership between Digium and Critical Links includes analog telephony cards (4-, 8- and 24-part analog cards) and digital telephony cards (single-, dual- and quad-span T1/PRI/E1 cards and ISDN BRI cards).

“Digium is excited to work with Critical Links and the impressive group of international carriers that have built their service upon the edgeBOX product line,” said Bill Miller, Digium’s vice president of product management and marketing. “The agreement provides an excellent opportunity for Digium to access new audiences with our new line of digital and analog telephony cards, which are covered by the Digium Exceptional Satisfaction Program – the strongest quality guarantee in open source telephony.”
