Signate Announces Second Edition of VoIP Telephony with Asterisk

Expanded Version of Best-Selling Guide to Popular Open Source PBX Software Makes Implementation
Easier, Less Expensive

San Francisco, Calif. - November 18, 2005 - Signate, the leading provider of VoIP telephony
solutions that combine high performance hardware and open source software, today announced the
second edition of VoIP Telephony with Asterisk, by Paul Mahler, Signate's Chief Technical Officer.
Intended for those new to the Asterisk open source PBX software project, the second edition of
Mahler's best selling guide has been revised, re-organized and expanded to reflect the current
state of the project.

VoIP Telephony with Asterisk Second Edition shows readers how to combine Asterisk open source
software with industry-standard Linux-based computer hardware to create reliable, highly capable
VoIP telephony systems with a total cost of ownership that's typically less than half the cost of
proprietary systems. 

The first edition of VoIP Telephony with Asterisk was the first comprehensive guide to the open
source PBX software, and has been the best-selling book in its sector with more than 6,000 copies
sold. Mahler incorporated reader feedback and his experiences teaching Asterisk to hundreds of
students to make the new and improved Second Edition an even better resource for learning the
essentials about designing, building and maintaining a PBX based on Asterisk:

·It makes Asterisk more approachable -- chapters have been reorganized for better understanding,
beginning with an introduction and instructions for your first configuration and progressing to
more advanced material.
·It contains expanded information about technologies and recent improvements in Asterisk, including
deeper discussion of SIP and IAX connections
·It includes more command reference material including additional appendices detailing link speeds
and installation checklists

"The Asterisk environment is constantly changing and improving," Mahler said.  "The second edition
incorporates enhancements to Asterisk through version 1.2 and is reorganized to shorten the time it
takes Asterisk newcomers to become productive."

VoIP Telephony with Asterisk Second Edition  is available from selected resellers worldwide or from
Signate's online store for $39.95  plus shipping. For more information, visit
