FusionPBX is a web-based administration platform for managing VoIP telephone systems built on FreeSWITCH. It provides a central interface for configuring extensions, routing calls and administering communication services without having to manage every FreeSWITCH setting manually.
The software is suitable for anything from a small business telephone system to a multi-tenant deployment serving different organisations. Its domain-based architecture allows administrators to manage separate telephone environments from a single installation, with each domain maintaining its own users and configuration.
FusionPBX combines everyday PBX administration with more advanced call-handling capabilities. It uses a modular application structure, allowing administrators to configure the features required for their deployment.
This is free and open source software.
