Open-source developers have even more flexibility with PIKA-trixbox combination

OTTAWA, Canada and MIAMI, Florida, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ - PIKA
Technologies Inc., a developer of media-processing hardware and software,
today announced that its PIKA for Asterisk family of analog and digital
boards is now compatible with Fonality's trixbox CE, an Asterisk-based
IP-PBX product. This announcement comes in advance of PIKA's participation
in Internet Telephony's Open Source Pavillion in Miami, Florida, which
begins tomorrow.

"We are excited to be working with Fonality and the trixbox CE team,
one of the largest Asterisk application developers in the world," said
Terry Atwood, vice president of sales, marketing and customer care at PIKA.
"Compatibility with trixbox CE opens a wider audience to PIKA's robust
media processing software and hardware, giving trixbox users more choice to
add value to their product offerings"

The PIKA for Asterisk suite comprises a range of hardware and software
designed to support applications built on the open-source Asterisk
platform. These building blocks are designed to provide cost-effective,
reliable network connectivity to bridge between legacy networks and
Asterisk based IP telephony applications. With the low-density PCI analog
board, the analog FXO (trunk) and the FXS (station) boards (all members of
PIKA's Daytona product family) and the PrimeNet digital T1/E1 boards,
application developers can select the hardware that meets their
application's particular needs. The entire portfolio of PIKA for Asterisk
boards supports the latest trixbox CE version 2.4, as well as the previous
2.2 version.

The full suite of Asterisk-based products has been developed using
PIKA's proven media-processing platform, including hardware (DSP) and
software-based echo cancellation that has been successfully deployed in
thousands of installations around the world over the past seven years.

trixbox is available in multiple configurations, including the
Community Edition (CE) which launched in 2004 as Asterisk@Home, and the
newest commercial solution, trixbox Pro, a hybrid hosted solution that
provides all the flexibility of the open-source concept with the added
value and stability of a commercial solution. trixbox Pro was recently
named Product of the Year 2007 by Internet Telephony magazine.

This is just the first step in an ongoing collaboration between trixbox
and PIKA. Fonality also plans to work with PIKA to get trixbox Pro running
on PIKA Warp, the company's out-of-the-box appliance for Asterisk. A
development plan is in place to bring this to market around the same time
as PIKA's late spring launch of the Appliance.

"The combination of trixbox and PIKA brings a new range of connectivity
options to the trixbox community," said Kerry Garrison, trixbox Community
Director at Fonality. "We look forward to building our relationship with
PIKA and to providing our customers with new, reliable and affordable
hardware options on which to deploy our solutions."
