Goal: This is an ambitious project in order to provide traditional PBX services to non-profits who otherwise couldn't afford it.

Using a dedicated computer, free PBX software, and inexpensive hardware, we are setting up a phone system in a sandbox testing environment. Understanding the need to keep existing phones, we researched hardware to convert existing analog phones into digital devices.

The software provides voicemail, individual extensions, digital receptionists, conference calling, and much more. Using this software combined with existing analog or new VoIP hardware provides a system that is potentially thousands less than a traditional system with comparable features.

Additionally, community partners of Wentworth Institute's Community & Learning Partnerships program will enjoy installation at no cost.
