Digium Announces the D40 D50 and D70


Digium recently announced their first line of IP telephones: Digium D40, Digium D50, and Digium D70. We are very excited to hear this because these are the first phones designed specifically for Asterisk-with the tightest integration possible between the phones and Asterisk. In fact, there are several things that make Digium IP phones special. First, they’ve made it very easy to auto-discover phones and easily configure them. Secondly, they’ve made it easy for the phones to access all sorts of user status and system information – thereby allowing very tight integration between the phone and the application. Third, they’ve included an application engine – which allows users and developers to write your own apps to run on the phone.

Here is a quick breakdown of what the 3 phones have to offer:

D40: An HDVoice, PoE phone with 2-line keys. Digium’s best value phone designed to work for any employee in your company. (pre-order here:http://www.voiplink.com/Digium_D40_2_Lines_HDVoice_PoE_p/digium-d40.htm)

D50: An HDVoice, PoE phone with 4-line keys and 10 rapid dial buttons with busy lamp field indicators for your most important contacts. Designed for your mid-level employees.(pre-order here:http://www.voiplink.com/Digium_D50_4_Lines_HDVoice_PoE_p/digium-d50.htm)

Designed for administrators or executives.(pre-order here:http://www.voiplink.com/Digium_D70_6_Lines_HDVoice_PoE_p/digium-d70.htm)

For Asterisk users you will be able to completely customize your end-to-end phone system using Digium’s Asterisk Open Source software and the Digium phones exclusively built for Asterisk.  Take advantage of the App Engine. More than XML pages, Digium phone apps can interface directly with core phone features.

Switchvox users will be able to extend the power of Switchvox to your desk phone with this complete business phone system. With no touch installation and intuitive built-in apps you can easily manage and customize your caller’s experience directly on your desktop phone.

The current release date announced by Digium is April of 2012.
