ConduIT3 Embedded PABX on display at VentureVoIP launch
Feature Rich Telephone System
It combines the flexibility of advanced call routing found in today's VoIP PABX systems with the security of multiple failover systems to bring considerable cost savings and peace of mind.

Ranging from the Pure Edition with pure VoIP, to the Pro with Analogue and VoIP right through to the Enterprise Edition supporting unlimited channels. The ConduIT is based on Debian and Asterisk™ and were unveiled by the Prime Minister of New Zealand in May 2007.

VentureVoIP has created a telephone system with features and stability unseen in any existing system, whether it be VoIP or traditional telephony.

While VoIP based systems have provided the opportunity for people to control telephone calls via the Internet, most people have followed traditional infrastructure models.

In a normal system, telephones connect to the local telephone exchange.

With the VentureVoIP system, we had the opportunity to develop both the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) or PABX, as well as the telephone exchanges themselves.

Because of this we were able to create a network where a customer is connected to all of our exchanges at the same time. This means that if there is a failure of one telephone exchange or a disaster in a given area that customers can continue with business as usual.

While developing the PABX systems for customers we decided to include connections to normal telephone lines so that in the event of Internet failure (or substandard quality), customers do not have their business disrupted.

A few of the features available

  • Supports both VOIP and Analogue

  • Video Conferencing

  • Audio Conferencing

  • Extensions 1 to Thousands

  • Fax support

  • All Call Forward options

  • Call Waiting

  • Caller ID for Call Waiting

  • Off Premises/IP Stations

  • Multi-Tenant

  • Toll Barring

  • Dial Direct from Outlook, Thunderbird

  • Night Bell

  • Codec Transcoding

  • All major Hunt Groups options

  • Screen Popping

  • Call forwarding

These features allow customers to migrate to the call savings inherent with VoIP without having to worry about substandard call quality. In fact, they have more stability than what they had with traditional telephones.

In the back end this kind of system required extensive development using features not currently available. We wrote custom clustering technologies (where each exchange is able to function in standalone mode and yet update the other servers on reconnect). While there were technologies available to perform clustering, most have machines in one location and do not take into account the possibility that the machines will not be able to reach each other.

Once we had developed a simple back end structure and the customer's PABX we were able to start testing the system. Tests results showed us that we would need to write additional software for monitoring the quality of customer's networks. The system is now able to detect and report on any failures and is able to send SMS messages to notify administrators of any problems it finds.

So, by now we had a simple PABX and exchanges. Good in that they were way more stable and secure than anything else on the market but bad in that they didn't anywhere near match the features of existing PABXs.

This brought about the second development phase.

We added in any feature that people already had so that they would be able to continue using their new system in the same way as their existing systems.

Once we had provided the full feature list from all existing PABX systems we could find we were able to start focusing on providing additional unique features that nobody else could provide.

This process brought about features such as a virtual receptionist with motion detecting webcam, predictive dialing built in to the system and the ability to fully replicate a customer's system on the exchanges so that they could continue business in the event that their premises are destroyed.

High Quality Low cost calling
With the VentureVoIP ConduIT3 PABX, you are able to get the benefits of VoIP calling with a fallback to using normal lines. When you are making calls via VoIP (i.e. your Internet is working and stable), you are able to make significant cost savings.

We've included a list of a few key destinations below, but to see the full list or search for a destination, go to the VentureVoIP Exchange rate page.

All calls are charged in 1 second increments after the first minute, are in NZ dollars and exclusive of GST.

All prices are for calls to land line telephones (not mobiles unless otherwise specified).

Productivity Gains
One of the biggest benefits of the VentureVoIP ConduIT PABX is that you are to greatly improve the way you do business. Not only does this mean that you spend less time doing common tasks, but also that you will be able to do things that weren't previously possible.

One way you can significantly save time is by using applications such as the Asterisk Desktop Assistant. ADA is great for call-centers, sales organizations, or anyone who spends much of their time on the phone. Click-to-call integration with the Firefox web browser automatically telephony enables web based business applications. Tight integration with the Microsoft Office suite and TAPI-enabled applications empowers Asterisk-based unified communications.

Click to dial applications allow you so simply click on a person's details in order to call them.

Combine multiple offices into one answering point. If you have staff directing calls from multiple current locations across a company, you can combine all of this into one place but still allow for extra calls to go to other numbers.

Case Studies
Hotels

VentureVoIP has installed telephone systems at a number of hotels and integrated with the RoomMaster billing system, although are able to look at other systems to integrate with.

Hotel specific features include automated wake up calls, inbuilt room billing and the ability to enable and disable individual phones.

When installing systems for hotels we change the hardware that we use depending on the requirements for the rooms and the target cost of the propreitor.
This ranges from 32 port Xorcom Astribanks for larger (over 100 room) analogue extensions, to VoIP phones for specific rooms or all rooms.

VentureVoIP normally uses the Snom 360 phones for hotel reception with custom features, busy lamps and wake up call facilities pre programmed.

The VentureVoIP ConduIT3 PABX also includes the Flash Operator Panel so that you can view the status of hundreds of extensions at the same time.

The combination of cost savings and leasing options mean that systems can work out extremely cost effective.

Small Businesses

When you purchas a telephone system for a small business you are normally restricted to quite a limited feature set because of the cost. With the VentureVoIP PABX, you receive all of the same functions and features of the enterprise system.


Integrated Flash Operator Panel
Large Businesses

The main difference we find with the larger businesses we work with is that they have extensive custom software in place with which integration could be a real benefit. While no two businesses run the same sets of software, we pride ourselves on the ability to integrate with any system that there is an API available for, and are also able to look at systems for which nobody has any information.

The second most important thing is that the system no matter what size should always be running. The larger that a system is, the more business could be lost in the event of a hardware failure. In order to combat this effect, VentureVoIP is able to set up custom clusters based on the VentureVoIP exchange servers. Hot standby servers and geographically distributed systems can be set up to get the best fault tolerance possible .

We also recognise that everyone does business in different ways and that custom development will normally be required. We provide competitive rates and are able to develop in many different languages.
