Ken Rice explains how, with Raspberry Pi, FreeSWITCH, hardware hacking, and port audio, we can build our own hard phones. Also updates on the latest FreeSWITCH news and possibly a scoop on something brand new.
FreeSWITCH is a scalable open source cross-platform telephony platform designed to route and interconnect popular communication protocols using audio, video, text or any other form of media.
Raspberry Pi: “We want to see cheap, accessible, programmable computers everywhere; we actively encourage other companies to clone what we’re doing. We want to break the paradigm where without spending hundreds of pounds on a PC, families can’t use the internet. We want owning a truly personal computer to be normal for children. We think that 2012 is going to be a very exciting year.”
