Asterisk Installation and Support in Boise Idaho

Perfect Computing, Boise Idaho, specializes in Asterisk installation and maintenance in the Treasure Valley area. We have been implementing and maintaining Asterisk VoIP systems since 2003 and can offer small local office VoIP systems with rich features at a very affordable price. With Asterisk VoIP solutions we can save your company LOTS of money. Don't be scared by the term VOIP. It doesn't mean "bad call quality" like it did several years ago. Asterisk not only does VOIP, but it can support Plain Old Telephones (POTS), T1s, and many other connections. We work with LOCAL telecommunication providers in Boise Idaho to provide you the most reliable service at the most affordable price (believe it or not, that's usually not Qwest).
Unfortunately, Asterisk can be installed by just about anyone that can turn on a PC. HOWEVER, we've had experience with this platform for the last 6years. Don't be fooled by people that tout experience--always ask for references and case studies.

What is Asterisk?

• Asterisk is software based PBX. It runs on Linux and provides all of the features you would expect from a standard PBX and more.
• Asterisk does voice over IP and can interoperate with almost all standards-based equipment using relatively inexpensive hardware.
• Asterisk PBX products represent a new breed of telecom equipment based on industry standards for networking and communications.
• Asterisk PBX offers tremendous functionality and flexibility as well as ease of configuration and administration.
• Asterisk has become the de facto standard in modern VoIP PBX systems.

Why Asterisk?

• Cost Savings - Asterisk Systems can typically be installed for about half the cost of a traditional system. For large installations the savings can be even greater. Prices start from $3599 for a fully installed system with 10 handsets and 12 months support. Adding additional handsets can be done for as little as $130 with no license fees or additional costs.
• Control - Asterisk Allows users to route and control their phone calls. Once a call is received, Asterisk can do virtually anything (IVR, Call Menus, Company Directory, Out of Office, etc). Asterisk provides call flow and control normally associated with the most expensive of systems.
• Integration - Asterisk integrates with existing business systems such as Microsoft Outlook. Being able to integrate applications directly with your phone (PBX) system changes how you view and use your phone system.
• VoIP - Significant savings can be achieved by using Asterisk to send all inter-office calls across the internet as well as reducing external call costs by using Mobile Telephone Gateways and accessing flat rate national call costs. It is not uncommon for the savings in call costs to pay for the acquisition of an Asterisk Phone System.
• Open System - Obtain support, accessories and upgrades from a variety of sources. There are many third party applications which can extend the functionality of Asterisk and many of them are free. Telephone handsets are standards based (SIP) and can be re-used on other SIP based PBXs.
• Reduced Cabling Costs- Asterisk uses VoIP for calls within the office using your existing LAN cabling. When cabling a new office, this can lead to considerable savings since only one set of cables must be run. Most phones include a built-in two port switch for sharing the same Ethernet jack with your computer. Wireless SIP phones are also available to eliminate cabling in some instances.
