VIA EPIA Mini-ITX mainboards have been adopted by UK-based Telappliant to power a new range of ArenaTalk voice servers that provide a complete "out of the box" Internet telephony solution for SMEs.

VIA EPIA Mini-ITX mainboards have been adopted by UK-based Telappliant to power a new range of ArenaTalk voice servers that provide a complete "out of the box" Internet telephony solution for small and medium-sised enterprises Offering two main types geared specifically for the small or home office (SOHO) and for the SME, the ArenaTalk voice servers are compact systems based on the robust, low power VIA EPIA Mini-ITX mainboards within an elegant Tranquil PC chassis

The systems are easy to configure and manage, with a simple-to-use browser-based interface developed using the highly popular Asterisk Open Source PBX platform.

With its comprehensive suite of industry-standard SIP (Session Internet Protocol) based telephony applications, the ArenaTalk voice server not only enables companies to significantly reduce the costs associated with long distance calls, mobile phone calls, and high frequency diallers, but also helps enhance the efficiency of their operations through a host of advanced features such as call recording, call monitoring, and call management.

"We are delighted that VIA EPIA Mini-ITX mainboards have been adopted for ArenaTalk voice servers", commented Richard Brown, Vice President of Corporate Marketing, VIA Technologies.

"The convenience and simplicity of ArenaTalk provides a perfect illustration of how our low power, highly integrated platforms are inspiring innovative new communication and computing solutions that leverage the unrivalled flexibility and performance of the x86 architecture".

"VoIP has come of age and is being widely adopted on a commercial scale, so the time is definitely right for complete VoIP kits that make it easy for businesses to set up their own Internet telephony systems", said Tan Aksoy, Managing Director of Telappliant.

"ArenaTalk not only comprises an IP PBX platform but also a VoIP service, enabling true end-to-end savings, and the compact size and great thermal profile of VIA EPIA mainboards enable us to provide all this in a reliable yet stylish system".

ArenaTalk voice servers are available in a wide variety of configurations specifically targeted to meet the needs of the SME and SOHO user, and come bundled with the ArenaTalk IP PBX suite that has been developed in partnership with a group of companies with several years experience in the VoIP industry, and builds on and supports Asterisk, the largest Open Source Linux community PBX solution.

All the applications are configurable and manageable via a simple to use, browser-based user interface - masking the complexity of Asterisk as a raw product.

System functions allow for remote system backup, automatic updates, system monitoring, detailed management reporting of all call detail records (CDRs) and much more.
