PIKA Technologies today announced a reseller partnership with Slacht, a division of Irish software and telecoms services company, Tuxenergy. Slacht will utilize PIKA boards in its Asterisk-based PBX (as opposed to Digium, Rhino, Sangoma, or other Asterisk compatible hardware).
Slacht spent over two years developing a wall-mounted Asterisk-based IP-PBX phone system PIKA worked closely with Slacht to assist with integrating the InLine, PIKA's low-density analog board, and the company's Digital Gateway Board, which provide Slacht's customers a reliable integration to the PSTN, with solid echo cancellation.
"We could see right away that PIKA offered solid technology," said Kevin Buckley, Managing Director, Slacht. "It supported our open-source technologies of choice, Asterisk and Mandriva Linux, and it offered echo cancellation, something the other vendors we looked at did not feature. Best of all, the price was right."
I have some further thoughts on this news, which I can't get into right now, but I will post a follow-up blog post hopefully later today. Trust me, it will be interesting...

Looking forward to the 'further thoughts'!
Hopefully it wasn't just a teaser.

Not a teaser. I'm still working on the article.
should be finished sometime next week.
Stay tuned!
Slacht's site is advertising Sangoma cards with this new Asterisk appliance. No PIKAs in sight.
