The Digium™ S101I, affectionately known
as the IAXy, takes Asterisk™ from the PC to the CPE.
The IAXy provides a single, fully featured FXS interface with an Ethernet back-end,
speaking the Asterisk-native IAX protocol, at a highly competitive price. It
is aimed at Voice Over Broadband and Internet Telephone Service Providers.
The IAX protocol provides complete NAT transparency, enabling full operation
behind NAT and PAT firewalls. This includes the ability to robustly transfer
calls between endpoints, allowing on-net calls to be moved off of a service
provider's network for better quality and lower cost.
