The IP01 is a 1 port IP-PBX that runs Asterisk and uClinux on a powerful embedded Blackfin processor. To build an Asterisk IP-PBX you normally need a x86 PC plus a PCI card for the analog ports. With the IP01 you get all of that functionality in a tiny, low cost, low power, silent box.

Unlike many other embedded processors, the Blackfin has enough DSP horsepower to handle multiple channels of echo cancellation and speech compression. This means that the IP01 is a complete IP-PBX with 1 analog port. No PC required!

The 1 analog ports can be configured any way you like, using single port FXS/FXO modules. The IP01 auto-detects the module type when it powers up and helpful LEDs indicate what flavour (FXS or FXO) the port is.

Using the IP01 is similar to any other Asterisk box. You can telnet in, modify config files (or use the new Asterisk GUI). Setting up the IP01 is easier than a x86 PC based Asterisk system: you don’t need to install Asterisk, or even Linux. The IP04 comes pre-loaded with Asterisk and uClinux, just telnet in to configure.

The IP01 is an open hardware design. This means the design is available for anyone to modify, improve, or hack. As it runs uClinux and Asterisk, the software is also free. The IP04 has been developed by a community of telephony professionals for community reasons. The Free Telephony Project has teamed with the good people at Atcom to put the IP01 into volume production.
