FreeSWITCH Communication Consolidation
The FreeSWITCH team is pleased to announce the immediately availability of FreeSWITCH version 1.0.4. (Source tarball available here.) This new version contains many improvements in stability and security as well as some notable additions.
FreeSWITCH 1.0.4 now supports Skype integration. If you have a Skype account you can send and receive Skype calls from FreeSWITCH. The Skype module (mod_skypiax) uses the native Skype client for the target operating system. Currently, Windows and Linux are supported. Skype calls can be made or received, and all of FreeSWITCH’s transcoding and resampling capabilities are available with Skype calls. The Skype audio codec, SILK, yields higher quality calls than the traditional PSTN, and FreeSWITCH’s ability to transcode and resample other high quality codecs allows for Skype calls to connect to SIP endpoints with excellent quality when those endpoints are using HD codecs such as CELT or Polycom Siren.
