Skype+Asterisk are now ready for business

Skype and Digium (Asterisk developers) announced the official release of the Skype for Asterisk connector. This solutions allows to integrate Asterisk IP PBX or Asterisk based telephony systems with Skype network:
- make calls to Skype-users from the common office phones or ip-phones
- make calls from office phones to PSTN and mobile lines all over the world at SkypeOut rates
- receive Skype-calls to single corporate Skype account (or SkypeIn number) and redirect them to office phones
- in the same way receive calls from your site (with the help of CallMe button)
- set IVR menu to your corporate Skype account
- log incoming and outgoing Skype-calls
- manage Skype services, like voice-mail and conferencing right in the Asterisk

You can order the connector for the one-time license price $66 per Skype-line. As opposed to the new rival Jajah+MS Communications Server, Skype+Asterisk is more attractive solution for small businesses, especially for these that make a lot of long-distance calls.
