What does a commercial Asterisk appliance cost? Gkkrishna 08-September-2008 01:46:56 AMComments The Asterisk Appliance (AA50) is a standalone embedded Asterisk-based PBX targeted for small to medium businesses (2-50 users), remote branch offices of larger organizations (2-50 users per site), and managed service providers for on-premise CPE-based solutions with SIP or IAX trunking. The AA50 also offers a hybrid solution alternative (a combination of VoIP applications using legacy telecom equipment) for enterprise customers who are not yet ready to migrate to a complete VoIP solution. A basic appliance costs about $1,000 to $1,500. Various vendors sell additional support contracts and peripheral hardware, including phones. These commercially upgraded platforms come with some advantages, such as custom hardware appliances as opposed to modified PCs. They also come with peripheral software that can add nonstandard features but also provide graphical interfaces to the PBX that make it simpler to configure and customize for individual use. Other software options include desktop software for configuring individual end-user preferences and tools for integrating voice-over-IP capabilities of Asterisk into business applications.
