Public Sector Asterisk

May 13, 2007


Recently came across some information from a small city in Mississippi that is using Asterisk/Trixbox for it’s internal phone system.

Vicksburg is a city of about 26,000 in Western Mississippi that looks to have a roughly 200 extension Asterisk system in place for city employees.

It’s nice to see governments making use of open source technologies, particularly Asterisk — it isn’t just for small businesses. I wonder how many other small to medium sized governments are using a flavor of Asterisk for their phone systems?
