IPBrick Lays Unified Communications Foundation

By Alex Handy

August 5, 2008 —  Bricks are effective communication tools when wrapped with notes and hurled through windows. IPBrick International offers a more subtle form of brick-based communications, with version 5.0 of its Linux-based unified communications platform

Released today at LinuxWorld in San Francisco, IPBrick 5.0 is the basis for a number of hardware voice communication solutions from the company, all of which offer unified platforms for the exchange of information.

IPBrick 5.0 now offers the ability to send and receive faxes via e-mail, fixing a major Achilles' heel for VOIP. The platform also includes instant messaging and standard PBX functions. The included PBX software can interface with existing phone equipment, given the proper equipment.

Raul Oliveira, CEO of IPBrick, said that “by developing a product that self-installs in five minutes, so simple that it enables the sales of IPBrick to be done by a worldwide retail channel that autonomously installs it in clients, we provide our partners a state-of-the-art solution.”

IPBrick is offered in a number of form factors, including PBX support. Each system includes VOIP support, instant messaging and e-mail hosting facilities, all of which can be tied together to form single points of communication for users, with multiple points of contact.
