Fonality announces high growth in the company’s commercial and open source business units. trixbox CE, Fonality’s open source project, has now been downloaded a total of 2.6 million times, which includes 1.6 million SourceForge downloads and an additional one million upgrades downloaded from trixbox.org. Separately, over the past five months Fonality’s commercial customer count has doubled. More than 5,000 customers in over 100 countries are now using the company’s business phone systems and have made a total of 225 million calls over the company’s hybrid-hosted systems, PBXtra and trixbox Pro.

“We’ve hit the 225 million call threshold and have proven that Fonality can scale with the market opportunity,” said Chris Lyman, Fonality CEO. “We are on track to serve a broad segment of the 35 million small businesses that will adopt VoIP over the next several years.”

Fonality business phone systems are designed for modern workplaces where companies have a mix of office, roaming and home-based workers. PBXtra supports both VoIP calling and traditional phone lines, allowing a smooth transition for businesses upgrading their calling services. Its patented hybrid-hosted architecture allows employee identity to be maintained as they travel between work, home, and hotel. PBXtra, when paired with the award-winning HUD presence software, provides a unified view of chat, email, and calling for all fixed and mobile workers.

trixbox CE, formerly Asterisk@Home, is Fonality’s open source project and one of the world’s largest communities devoted to open source telephony. trixbox CE integrates Asterisk, Linux, MySQL, FreePBX, HUDlite and several additional applications. It operates on a single server, providing companies with a PBX phone system and the surrounding applications needed to support their business. The trixbox community has the largest number of registered users and the most active forums for discussing and resolving open source telephony and Asterisk-based issues.
