Zeracom, the Greenville, SC based communications company, announced today the release of its internet-protocol office telephone switching device Zerabox following two-years of development and field testing.

“Zerabox is a major leap forward for Zeracom and our clientele,” states Rob McClure, the company’s founder and CEO. “The beauty of the Zerabox,” explains McClure, “is its compatibility with any telephone line setup at any business. Regardless of the telephone company a business uses, Zerabox can interface with it. This ability is crucial to the future of business as VoIP becomes the standard for phone service.”

“Stand alone voice systems are no longer sufficient,” declares McClure. “Business now demands a “unified communications” platform, an integrated communications pipeline providing audio, video and real time interaction with clients and co-workers.” Known generically as an IP-PBX, Zerabox replaces the ubiquitous legacy systems and proprietary software and wiring found in closets and telecom rooms of office buildings nationwide.

“Open-source software simply makes sense,” says McClure. The broad acceptance of Asterisk is an advantage for us and our clients, speeding advances and eliminating worries over the viability of proprietary solutions. Using Asterisk places Zeracom in the fast lane of the VoIP transition.”

The emergence of VoIP, enabled by the expanding availability of broadband internet connections, has resulted in astonishing growth of the VoIP telephony market. McClure cites a recent industry analysis report measuring VoIP growth approaching 200,000% since 2002. “The growth is unimaginable – the industry has doubled revenues every five months for seven years and shows no sign of easing up.” Meanwhile, prominent industry researcher IBIS World released a report in December projecting VoIP as the best performing industry of the next decade.

“These are exciting times for this business,” says McClure, “and it is gratifying to be able to offer our clients greater capabilities at the lowest costs ever.”
