This is probably the only area that I can call myself an expert in.

Asterisk can be made to build a tricked out phone system of any size at a trivial cost.

Ultimately, this page will be a set of config files, patches and dependencies for building such a system.

Compression

  • MELP/MELPe - Military grade encryption for minimizing bandwidth consumption
  • AMR - What cellphones use
  • g723.1/g729 - What voip phones use
  • iLBC/speex - Open source low-bitrate codecs

Useful protocols

  • Bluetooth will be implemented via chan_bluetooth or chan_cellphone
  • GSM will be implemented with a commercial gateway.
  • Regular POTS service can be done using hardware
  • SIP - VoIP protocol
  • IAX - Lightweight VoIP protocol

Asterisk

  • Used to switch calls
  • Used to translate between various protocols
  • Used to perform IVR functionality such as voicemail

Security

  • Not all that great in the open source world, but reasonable security can be achieved.
