PIKA to demonstrate PIKA WARP the Appliance for FreeSWITCH at ClueCon
Attend PIKA’s demo and enter to win full system with two SNOM model 370 IP phones
OTTAWA, Canada – August 5, 2008 – PIKA Technologies Inc., a developer of media-processing hardware and software, will be participating in the ClueCon Telephony Developer Conference taking place at Chicago’s Hilton Garden Inn from August 5 – 7. At the conference, the company will demonstrate the functionality of PIKA WARP the Appliance for FreeSWITCH and give attendees the chance to enter a draw to win the equipment used in the demonstration.
PIKA began to ship its WARP product portfolio in June, providing application developers with a cheaper, more reliable and much more compact alternative to typical off-the-shelf computer/voice board products for voice-application deployment.
This flexibility has now been extended to include the FreeSWITCH open-source telephony platform as part of PIKA’s ongoing commitment to supporting open-source-telephony application developers. FreeSWITCH is designed to facilitate the creation of voice and chat-driven products scaling from a soft phone up to a soft switch.
“This first ever live demonstration of WARP working with FreeSWITCH is eagerly anticipated by our company and our user base,” said Anthony Minessale, lead developer and author of FreeSWITCH. “I’m confident that conference attendees will be impressed by PIKA’s growing product portfolio and the addition of new tools and hardware that provide application developers with even more reasons to turn to FreeSWITCH.”
FreeSWITCH can be used as a simple switching engine, a PBX, a media gateway or a media server to host integrated voice response (IVR) applications using simple scripts or XML to control the call flow.
The PIKA WARP Appliance product portfolio is ideal for deploying small-medium sized IP-PBX systems, IVR self-service systems, predictive dialling systems, fax servers and many other features typical of a traditional purpose-built business telephone system that are often lacking in a computerized system. Compatible with a variety of open source development platforms, including Asterisk and Linux, the Appliance offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional off-the-shelf computers and plug-in card network connectivity in a smaller footprint.
PIKA will demonstrate the functionality of PIKA WARP the Appliance for FreeSWITCH at ClueCon using a complete set up that will include two SNOM model 370 IP phones. Attendees present at the demonstration will be entered into a draw to win the complete set up, including the two phones.
PIKA will also be conducting formal sessions at ClueCon. At 5:00 pm on August 5, business development manager David Clarke will give a presentation on Appliances vs. Cards, key factors in choosing your development approach. This will be followed at 5:30 pm by an inside and out technical overview of PIKA WARP by PIKA’s strategic technology director, Wojciech Tryc.
PIKA Technologies is a gold sponsor of the ClueCon Telephony Developers Conference.
