Rack-Soft has announced the general availability of 4PSA VoipNow 2.0.2, a Unified Communications software system that delivers voice, video, presence, instant messaging and faxing services. Internet Telephony providers and web hosting providers use 4PSA VoipNow to offer feature rich communication services to SMB market.
4PSA VoipNow 2.0.2 introduces various improvements and new features like number portability, Amazon EC2 support, SIP server multi-network, SIP server behind NAT, server generated presence, as well as important performance optimizations. VoipNow can handle a higher number of concurrent calls and more calls per second with fewer resources spent.
"The VoipNow 2.0.2 number portability support is built around an API that allows the system to connect to any national number portability database. Charging the call based on the destination network gains importance as competition in telecom has increased and more customers migrate between providers.", said Bogdan Carstoiu, Rack-Soft’s CEO.
The new presence capabilities involve the server in keeping track of extensions’ status. VoipNow knows at any time what happens with extensions and is able to publish this information for interested parties. Extensions can also update their own status.
"When deploying VoIP services, the existing infrastructure has a special role in the solution provisioning. VoipNow provides SIP server behind NAT support to reduce costs for on premises installations. Cloud deployments are also important, that’s why VoipNow 2.0.2 fully supports Amazon EC2.", added Mr. Carstoiu.
4PSA VoipNow can be installed on standalone Linux x86 servers or on virtualized environments based on VMware or Virtuozzo. The product is also available in a free version, limited to ten phone extensions. Prices for the commercial version start from 299USD.
