What the file says
# Asterisk - Open Source Communications Software ## About Asterisk is the open-source engine behind thousands of business phone systems and VoIP deployments around the world. It started as a simple PBX project and grew into the backbone for carriers, contact centers, and developers who need flexible voice infrastructure without vendor lock-in. Companies use it to build everything from basic office extensions to complex multi-site call centers with IVR, recording, and analytics layered on top. The software runs on commodity hardware or cloud instances, giving teams full control over routing, security, and integration with CRM or help-desk tools. Because the code is open, a global community keeps adding features, fixing bugs, and sharing configuration examples that newcomers can copy and adapt. Asterisk supports SIP, WebRTC, and traditional telephony interfaces, so organizations can mix old trunks with modern apps without ripping out existing lines. Service providers embed it in hosted offerings while enterprises run it on-premise for compliance or cost reasons. The project releases stable versions on a predictable schedule, and commercial support options exist for teams that want SLAs and professional help. Integrators and resellers build turnkey solutions around Asterisk, offering hardware appliances, hosted instances, and managed monitoring. Training programs and certificatio
