MeshPhone installed on NFL-PBX

Jul 9th 2023 — news

As of 9-JUL MeshPhone has been installed on NFL-PBX. MeshPhone allows the interconnection of PBXes across an AREDN network and across multiple AREDN networks. 

The preferred way of using MeshPhone is through a hardware IP phone, but when one is not available a software phone like LinPhone can work well. The download page is a bit hidden, but here is a link for downloading LinPhone: https://www.linphone.org/technical-corner/linphone

Each phone on the network receives a unique 7 digit number so that anyone on the network can direct dial to the phone--much like a regular phone network. In addition, one is able to dial into other phone networks like Hamshack Hotline (HHUS), Hams Over IP (HOIP) and the European HamNet. MeshPhone even allows one to call by just entering a call sign.
