Definition:   asterisk is an open source/free software implementation of a telephone private branch exchange (PBX) originally created by Mark Spencer of Digium. Like any PBX, it allows a number of attached telephones to make calls to one another, and to connect to other telephone services including the public switched telephone network (PSTN).

The basic asterisk software includes many features available in proprietary PBX systems: voice mail, conference calling, interactive voice response IVR ( phone menus), and automatic call distribution acd. Users can create new functionality by writing dial plan scripts in asterisk's own language, by adding custom modules written in C, or by writing asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI) scripts in perl or other languages.

But, to attach ordinary telephones to a Linux server running asterisk, or to connect to PSTN trunk lines, the server must be fitted with special hardware.

Powered Marketing and asterisk:   Powered Marketing's Netcaller API is quickly replacing asterisk as the developers choice since there is no need to also build their own telecommunications infrastructure. Powered Marketing's Netcaller API is the only leading edge technology that allows one to create a wide spectrum of new contact technology ranging from simple scripts that place calls from emails (email caller) and forms (form caller) to elaborate dialer platforms rAPIdly deployed to empower an unlimited amount of agents locally and remote. Today, Netcaller API is quickly becoming the call center platform of choice.

Powered Marketing has opened its Netcaller Application Programming Interface (API) to web developers, which is now preferred above asterisk, thus enabling the next generation of web to voice & voice to web applications and virtual voip services. Based on common web standards, the API facilitates quick and easy development of virtually limitless voice-enabled business applications that can be used with any existing telephone eg. wired, voip or wireless. Netcaller API removes barriers and provides developers with tools and direct access for the first time to the global public telecommunications infrastructure via Powered Telecom.
