TelcoDepot's Asterisk-Based PBX Solution Reaps Success in Hospitality Market

TelcoDepot (News - Alert), a provider of Voice over IP (VoIP) phone systems and other telecommunications products, announced it successfully penetrates global hospitality industry with its Asterisk (News - Alert)-based PBX solutions.

The TelcoDepot PMS (Property Management System)-Interfaced Asterisk-based PBX solution is an open-source solution designed for the hospitality industry. It is a cost-effective alternate for expensive proprietary PBX (News - Alert) systems.

The solution has been successfully installed in hotels in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Mexico, Switzerland, Uruguay, The Dominican Republic, Austria, Greece, Belgium, The Netherlands, Czech Republic and other destinations, company officials said.

The TelcoDepot solution features PMS interface software, Asterisk PBX, IP Phone and SoftPhone. It is equipped with a MICROS-Fidelio certified Asterisk-based interface by PBillX, based on Elastix (News - Alert) FreePBX.

Since the TelcoDepot solution is also based on an Open IP System, it does not require license fees. The Asterisk-based PBX also matches the features that are available on market leading proprietary PBX systems like Mitel (News - Alert). In addition the solution provides an Asterisk-based Complete PBX Concierge standalone software that handles guest check-ins, guest phone billing, room maid service and other guest/PBX management functions.

Company officials say Telco Depot PMS-Integrated Asterisk-based TD2000/3000 IP-PBX system with a standalone complete PBX Concierge software solves the problem of sourcing phone system solutions. It drastically cut costs while providing greater flexibility and control for hotel businesses.

The TelcoDepot TD2000/3000 IP-PBX solution supports a number of communication features such as auto attendants, user-defined extensions, voicemail boxes, voicemail-to-email, fax-to-email, support for the Fring application (iPhone/android), call monitoring, call recording, integrated paging over IP telephone speakers, ring groups, custom messages, music on hold, and more.

 “When you combine a top-notch PMS from a leading provider like MICROS-Fidelio with a certified Asterisk-based Interface by PBillX and a TD2000/3000 IP-PBX System from TelcoDepot, what you get is a first-class open source PBX solution that is designed to cut costs dramatically, and provide flexibility and a number of advantages for Hotels when compared to proprietary PBX systems,” said a representative from the company.

Recently Telco Depot announced a Reseller Support Program for resellers of its TD1000/2000 VoIP Phone System. The new Telco Depot Reseller Support Program from TelcoDepot.com will provide resellers of the VoIP system with access to several key benefits.
