Jon Arnold / David Mandelstam - Sangoma and Open Source Telephony
On this week's podcast, Jon welcomed back David Mandelstam, President/CEO of Toronto-based Sangoma Technologies. David was a podcast guest here last March, and Jon brought him back for an update on Open Source telephony. Sangoma continues to be an innovator in this market, and David talked about their recent news to include Octasic's echo cancellation with their analog voice cards. David provided an overview of the importance of providing cost-effective carrier-grade echo cancellation for IP telephony, and how this is another step forward in how Open Source telephony is maturing to rival IP PBX. Jon and David also talked about broader market trends, including how they see Microsoft and IBM becoming key drivers of Open Source telephony adoption.
