celliax at Astricon 2007

September 27th, at 2.50pm, Giovanni Maruzzelli will make a presentation about: "chan_celliax: Cellphones as Asterisk GSM and SMS channels (with Skype support)".

Abstract:

chan_celliax is a GPL Asterisk channel driver (like chan_sip or chan_zap) that allows Asterisk to use standard cellphones as interfaces to the cellular network. It uses the cellphone datacable (often USB) to manage call and SMS related functions, and an audiocable to the soundcard for voice I/O. It plays well with IAX2, SIP and ZAP channels.

Skype is supported only with the cellular network (no bridges to other channels), eg. you can make and receive Skype calls from your cellphone.

Asterisk (little patch to 1.2 series) with chan_celliax works very well in Windows XP/Cygwin!

The presentation will cover all aspect of chan_celliax: design, implementation, features, usage, integration.

What is Astricon?

Astricon is the official conference for the wildly popular Asterisk PBX and telephony platform. Astricon includes a wealth of information for those who are getting started with Asterisk, as well as those who have already discovered the power of open source telephony. Astricon is also the meeting place for the Asterisk community, a diverse group of users, developers, entrepreneurs, and other fans.
