Free Telephony Project IP04 Asterisk Applicance - Tuesday, 18 March 2008

We're please to announce the availability of the IP04 Asterisk Appliance. Born from the excellent Free Telephony Project and manufacturered by Atcom. The IP04 is an open source hardware and software design. Similar to the Digium Asterisk appliance but open source.

Because the IP04 appliance is open source there are no extension or call limits imposed by software licenses, no limits on the number of voicemail boxes, remote extensions or anything of the sort.

Being open source means that it's also significantly cheaper than it's alternatives.

In the near future we will be introducing the IP08, similar to the IP04 but with 8 analog ports and two network interfaces.

We currently have some testing units in stock here and will be placing some larger orders very soon. Register your interest now.

TechnoTrend DVB-S (Freeview) cards available - Tuesday, 18 September 2007

Hi all,

In keeping with our theme of bringing in things that aren't readily available in NZ we've decided to bring in some TechnoTrend DVB-S cards.

The TechnoTrend S-1401 cards are Linux compatible (Windows too if you're that way inclined), they will work out of the box in Ubuntu and likely many other distributions. Great for receiving the Freeview broadcast with MythTV or your favourite PVR application.

They are being introduced at the low price of $115 including GST and delivery. Let us know what you think.
