Digium, the Asterisk (News - Alert) Company, and Yealink, a professional IP voice and video phone designer and manufacturer for broadband networks, announced an interoperability partnership and certification of the Yealink SIP-T2x series IP phones.
Under this interoperability partnership, Yealink enterprise HD IP phones are compliance-tested by Digium (News - Alert) for interoperability with Asterisk.
Yealink SIP-T2x series Session Initiation Protocol or "SIP" telephones help businesses leverage the increasing benefits of VoIP telephone systems, company officials claimed.
These SIP phones provide high-quality audio, a brand range of voice codecs, security protection for privacy, and rich telephony features, they added.
"The combination of Digium and Yealink (News - Alert) enterprise HD IP phone gives businesses a powerful and yet cost-effective choice in the VoIP solution market," said David Chen, the CEO of Yealink Networks. "We believe we are providing the best price-performance benchmark in the industry. The Digium and Yealink combination offers a very compelling value to SMBs."
Digium is the innovator behind Asterisk, the most widely used open-source telephony software and the cost-effective alternative to proprietary communication software.
The company offers Asterisk free to the open source community and offers Asterisk Business Edition and Switchvox (News - Alert) IP PBX software to power a broad family of products for small, medium and large businesses.
Digium offers a wide range of hardware and software to enable resellers and customers to implement turnkey VoIP phone systems or to design their own custom telephony solutions.
"The Digium and Yealink interoperability partnership extends the power and cost-saving benefits of Asterisk to new user globally," said Digium's Mark Amick, director of product management. "Yealink's commitment to SIP telephony excellence creates exciting new opportunities for their customers and our Asterisk dealer and developer teams."
In March Digium announced it signed a distribution agreement with SYNNEX Corporation to distribute its Switchvox business phone systems and telephony cards to resellers in the United States and Canada.
