Pingtel is transforming the way enterprises deploy IP voice communications with the
industry’s first field-proven, SIP-based open source enterprise communications suite.
Unlike proprietary VoIP solutions currently available, Pingtel’s SIPxchange communications suite gives
small-to-medium-sized businesses control over when and how to deploy VoIP technologies. As the industry’s
only open source SIP-based IP PBX, SIPxchange not only removes the barriers that have prevented rapid and
pervasive deployment of enterprise VoIP, but also delivers freedom from vendor technology lock-ins. Enterprises
benefit from more flexibility in terms of integration and lower total cost of ownership.
Pingtel and developers around the world collaborate to create the SIPxchange solution at
SIPfoundry, the leading open source community dedicated to
real-time communications solutions.
Pingtel’s business model is based on delivering the requisite service and support for an enterprise-grade edition
of the open source-based source code. Combining an open source business model with the industry’s de facto VoIP
standard, enables Pingtel to deliver a field-proven IP telephony portfolio at a cost point unmatched by today’s
hardware-centric IP telephony vendors.
