ASTPP stands for A Smart TelePhony Platform. It is available in an open source and an enterprise version. Being one of the pioneer open source VoIP Solutions, it has been appreciated by many VoIP giants and helped many small businesses and startups grow faster. The community is driven by an IT company based in India that handles the complete solution as well as its growth and development. The community leaders have announced that the ASTPP will be offered as a Unified Communication solution.

“ASTPP is generally used by the VoIP service providers that offer their services in their own country or internationally. Generally, VoIP service providers cater to customers in more than one segment. Even if they start with a single domain, soon they start serving in other domains as well. For example, if someone is offering IP PBX based phone services, he/she will also provide DID numbers. There are many similar scenarios that prove that a majority of service providers cater to multiple segments in the VoIP industry. Generally, they use different VoIP solutions to provide different services. For example, multi tenant IP PBX software to provide phone service, DID numbering solution for DID service, and a VoIP billing solution to take care of invoicing and billing. This not only increases cost, but also complexity and intricacies. To make sure the VoIP service providers get a smart VoIP platform to provide unified communication services, we have transformed ASTPP, which was just an open source VoIP billing solution, into a smart telephony platform”, shared spokesperson of ASTPP.

As per the shared details, this smart VoIP software has the core functionality of the core solution and the additional VoIP solutions to add unified communication features can be added in ASTPP by adding available add-ons. The ASTPP 4 has introduced add-ons which are actually full fledged VoIP solutions. These add-ons can be added to add different channels or solutions aiming to offer unified communication solutions.

The important information shared by the community leader is that all add-ons are not available for all. The ASTPP enterprise version will get access to all add-ons and all features available in this smart VoIP software solution. However, some of them are not available to the open source ASTPP users. The details about which add-ons are available to open source version and which are available for enterprise version is clearly mentioned on the official website of ASTPP. This can help service providers to choose the one based on their business model for now and in future.
