VOIP, PABX and Wireless

VoIP, PABX and Wireless

Recent Open Source developments in SIP telephony have come up with some interesting and highly cost-effective options for organisations small or large who wish to install an efficient PABX system which utilises Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology.

If you want a secure wireless system in your home, office or headquarters that will enable your family or your staff to connect to the outside world via wireless, this workshop is for you. Of course opening your Internet connection via wireless will bring its own security problems. At the same time, we'll show you how to protect your personal network from intrusion and your bandwidth from unauthorised use.

On this Advanced workshop we'll take you through the technology and let you see for yourself how GNU/Linux and Open Source software deals with these two cutting edge technologies.

• * Fundamentals and basic configuration of Asterisk
• * Other VoIP options under GNU/Linux
• * An introduction to wireless networking.
