FreeSWITCH open source soft-switch will be releasing 1.0.7 which will include T.38 support and commercially licensed G.729 codec support among other improvements.
T.38 is a standard to allow faxes to pass over the internet, reducing the possibility of failures. Support includes origination / termination (sending or receiving a file via T.38) as well as gateway (translating an T.30 audio fax stream into a T.38 data fax stream).
G.729 is a popular audio codec used by many popular devices. It requires a commercial license due to patent issues but they are available from FreeSWITCH Solutions LLC for only $10 per channel.
FreeSWITCH is a scalable open source cross-platform telephony platform designed to route and interconnect popular communication protocols using audio, video, text or any other form of media. It was created in 2006 to fill the void left by proprietary commercial solutions. FreeSWITCH also provides a stable telephony platform on which many telephony applications can be developed using a wide range of free tools.
FreeSWITCH supports various communication technologies such as Skype, SIP, H.323 and GoogleTalk making it easy to interface with other open source PBX systems such as sipXecs, Call Weaver, Bayonne, YATE or Asterisk.It also supports many advanced SIP features such as presence/BLF/SLA as well as TCP TLS and sRTP. It also can be used as a transparent proxy with and without media in the path to act as a SBC (session border controller) and proxy T.38 and other end to end protocols.
FreeSWITCH supports both wide and narrow band codecs making it an ideal solution to bridge legacy devices to the future. The voice channels and the conference bridge module all can operate at 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 or 48 kilohertz and can bridge channels of different rates.
FreeSWITCH builds natively and runs standalone on several operating systems including Windows, Max OS X, Linux, BSD and Solaris on both 32 and 64 bit platforms.
