Fonality, the world's largest deployment of Asterisk™, today announced that customers have placed more than 30 million calls using its PBXtra IP-PBX for small and medium businesses (SMBs). Fonality, which has led the Asterisk market for two years, has accelerated that lead and is now averaging over one million calls per week across its platform.

"Our growth has been staggering - and the reason is simple: business owners are tired of getting ripped off when they buy a new phone system," said Chris Lyman, Fonality's founder and CEO. "With Fonality, they can finally get the features they need for a price that won't put them in the poor house!"

Fonality's PBXtra product line, which began shipping in October of 2004, provides SMBs with enterprise-class phone systems for 40 percent to 80 percent less than the cost of traditional PBX systems. PBXtra includes enterprise-class features such as telecommuting, branch office support, voicemail-to-email, click-to-call, VoIP, softphones, support for IP and analog phones, call recording, conferencing and advanced call center functionality. Fonality has streamlined and simplified the complex tasks of PBX setup, administration and management, making PBXtra the first phone system for SMBs that can be installed and administered remotely using a Web browser, without specialized training.

PBXtra software runs on standard PC hardware, and uses layers of Open Source Linux and Asterisk software to provide the least expensive option for SMBs deploying IP-PBX phone systems. Unlike most alternative Asterisk-based PBX offerings, PBXtra is much more than a simple front-end designed to make it easier for Linux and Asterisk experts to install and manage Asterisk.

PBXtra is available direct from Fonality or through a Fonality reseller. Pricing starts at $995 for the PBXtra Standard Edition server with unlimited licenses, or $2,935 with ten phones. PBXtra's Call Center Edition, which allows for distributed call centers, is $1,995. For more information about PBXtra or becoming a Fonality reseller, visit www.fonality.com.
