Fonality^®, a leading open source telephony company, today announced that more than 2,000 customers with 45,000 phones in 37 countries have adopted its open source business phone system, PBXtra^™, and used it to place more than 75 million calls. Fonality continues to reliably scale as small and medium-sized businesses rapidly adopt PBXtra, the world's largest commercial Asterisk^® deployment. Continued growth is fueled by demand among smaller companies for high-quality, value-priced alternatives to the expensive, rigid offerings sold by traditional communications companies.

Fonality is transforming the telephony market by combining the cost savings of open source software with award-winning ease-of-use, making sophisticated business phone systems a reality for small to medium-sized businesses worldwide. Fonality's patent-pending, hybrid-hosted technology enables seamless use of PBXtra to support branch offices, as well as mobile and home-based workers.

"For three years, Fonality has been the leader in the commercial Asterisk market," said Chris Lyman, CEO of Fonality. "This milestone of 75 million calls illuminates the scalability of our platform."
