Streaming Music on Hold for IPitomy Appliances
Exclusively from Easy On Hold®.
The inevitable transition from older Key and PBX systems to IP-based phone systems continues, and Easy On Hold is at the forefront of IP music on hold. With its newest release, IP-PBX systems provider IPitomy allows integration of the Easy On Hold streaming solution for music and messages on hold.
The trend toward hosted IP telephony for business phone systems is demanding changes in music on hold message technology.[8] In November, 2013, EasyOnHold.com introduced custom messages on hold streams for use with Asterisk and OnSIP phone systems.Wikipedia - Music On Hold
