Fonality announces 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.

PBXtra includes a modified version of the open source IP-PBX platform Asterisk that Fonality has hardened for reliability and layered with feature-rich applications. Fonality’s business phone systems deliver more functionality with significantly improved ease-of-use at 40 to 80 percent less than the cost of comparable systems from larger companies. Out of the box, PBXtra Standard, PBXtra Professional and PBXtra Call Center support VoIP calling, advanced auto-attendant features, telecommuters, branch offices, drag-and-drop call control, conferencing and intra-office intercom, as well as a host of other advanced features. Fonality provides 24x7 technical support, and its patent-pending hybrid-hosted architecture ensures reliability by allowing real-time monitoring and remote system management.
