Also not sure how mod_kazoo is different from the other two.What is an Interactive Voice Response System? This is more like a platform, and using FreeSWITCH only for “ ‘Call Pickup’, ‘Call Hangup’ and ‘Transcoding’” (see KAZOO Overview and Architecture). ( elixir, supports mod_event_socket and mod_erlang_event) Is an API-based platform that lets you use your existing phones, programming languages and IT skills to build voice, video and SMS services.Įrlang/Elixir libraries building on one of the above modules: This allows FreeSWITCH™ to behave like just another erlang node (albeit a hidden one). Is a derivative of mod_event_socket that sends events and receives commands in erlang’s binary term format. Is a TCP based interface to control FreeSWITCH The below FreeSWITCH modules can be used to do so: Manage FreeSWITCH via eventsįreeSWITCH can be controlled by events using external applications. This list is by no means comprehensive, FreeSWITCH is extremely flexible and can be used in any way you can imagine. Application server such as Voicemail, conferencing, IVR.

Some common capacities that FreeSWITCH is used for include For a full listing of supported protocols see the Endpoints page.

FreeSWITCH supports all popular VoIP protocols as well as interfacing with PRIs. (Visit for more info)įreeSWITCH can handle voice, video and text communications from an IP Network (VoIP) and the PSTN(Public Switched Telephone Network - regular landlines). Combined with our hosted cloud platform, SignalWire, FreeSWITCH can interconnect with the outside world and scale to any size. From a Raspberry PI to a multi-core server, FreeSWITCH can unlock the telecommunications potential of any device. See also the split of Nix and Guix threads even though the main concepts are the same.įrom the FreeSWITCH wiki: What is FreeSWITCH?įreeSWITCH is a Software Defined Telecom Stack enabling the digital transformation from proprietary telecom switches to a versatile software implementation that runs on any commodity hardware. The thread is named FreeSWITCH and not telephony on purpose, because it is a huge topic (there is also Asterisk, for example). The intention is to have a place to ask Elixir/Erlang-related questions regarding FreeSWICH.
