“Chances are, if you ran a big company you'd have an expensive PBX (private branch exchange) system to juggle extensions, conference calls, and voice mail. For small businesses, a better solution is a virtual PBX, which doesn't require new hardware and is managed via the Web. You get a main number from the hosting company and then route all calls through it to other lines, be it a cell phone or a home-office phone abroad. You can also avoid long-distance charges by routing calls via VoIP.”

Press8 Attends Astricon 2007
We at Press8 Communications are a proud supporter of the open source community, and employ the use of the Asterisk PBX as part of our clustered IP PBX solution. Astricon, primarily sponsored by Digium (the creators of Asterisk) is an annual telephony event to network, share ideas, learn about new and upcoming additions, and have a little fun. We had a small booth in the exhibit hall to display our product, including some brochures, stylish Press8 pens, and even some custom Press8 M&M's! Astricon this year was held in sunny Phoenix, AZ.

We had the pleasure of meeting Mark Spencer, founder and original creator of Asterisk, after his touching presentation on his views of open source and Digium's impact in the telephony world. Mark was running a little bit late that day for his presentation, so he made up lost time by making his entrance through the presentation hall in his golf cart!
Overall, Astricon was a great success. We met some really interesting people, got some great new ideas, met with some of our existing vendors, and got to show off our product to others!
