Published on:
July 4, 2025
Vodia PBX now supports AWS Graviton processors, bringing more efficient and affordable cloud communications to businesses of all sizes. By running natively on ARM-based Graviton instances across all major Linux distributions, Vodia enables up to 40% better price performance compared to traditional x86 systems. This means lower AWS infrastructure costs, reduced energy consumption, and no compromise on reliability or features. It’s a timely upgrade for businesses looking to modernize their phone systems while optimizing spending.
The future of cost-effective cloud communications just got brighter…
Vodia is excited to announce native support for AWS Graviton processors - we are opening the door to significant cost savings without compromising on performance or reliability.
Breaking the x86_64 Barrier
For years, the industry-standard Vodia PBX has delivered enterprise-grade communications on traditional x86_64 architecture across popular Linux distributions, including Ubuntu (versions 22 and 24), Debian (versions 11 and 12), CentOS 9, AlmaLinux 9, and Rocky Linux 9. We're now expanding beyond these traditional boundaries to embrace the power and efficiency of ARM-based Graviton processors.
Supporting multiple processor architectures is nothing new to the Vodia phone system. It supports the 32-bit ARM-based Raspberry Pi used in Vodia IOP devices and the MIPS used in the Vodia IO platform (in the early days of Vodia, we also supported the PowerPC architecture). If needed, other architectures like RISC V can also be targeted.
The Graviton Advantage: More Performance, Lower Cost
AWS Graviton is a family of processors designed to deliver the most cost-effective performance for your cloud workloads running in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). AWS Graviton processors represent a paradigm shift in cloud computing economics.
Built on ARM architecture, these processors deliver up to 40 percent better price performance when compared to comparable x86-based instances. For enterprises and SMBs running the Vodia PBX, this translates to immediate and substantial cost reductions on your AWS infrastructure, but you won’t sacrifice the robust features and reliability you depend on.
Key Benefits
Consistent Performance: Maintain the same high-quality voice communications and advanced PBX features you expect from the feature-rich Vodia PBX.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Graviton processors consume less power, contributing to both cost savings and a reduced carbon footprint.
Reduced Operating Costs: Lower per-hour instance pricing means your monthly AWS bills shrink significantly.
AWS Graviton also gives you a savings dashboard, a visualization tool that helps you understand the impact of current and future Graviton usage on your workloads.
Perfect Timing for Cost-Conscious Businesses
In today's economic climate, every dollar saved on infrastructure can be reinvested in the growth of your company. By supporting Graviton processors, the Vodia PBX enables organizations to optimize spending on communication infrastructure while maintaining enterprise-grade capabilities.

Hospitality is undergoing a major shift as AI and cloud telephony reshape guest interactions. In this podcast, Christian Stredicke discusses which changes genuinely improve hotel operations and guest experience, why room phones still matter, and how modern PBXs can balance automation with the human touch that defines real hospitality. He also examines on-prem versus cloud deployments, renovation timing, emergency calling, and the ways the right system can reduce costs while raising service quality.
Vodia and Htek are hosting a joint webinar to showcase the seamless compatibility between the Vodia PBX and Htek’s full IP phone lineup, including the UCV(Pro) smart video series and UC900 business phones.

Attendees will learn how the combined Vodia Htek solution delivers a powerful, scalable communications experience for education, hospitality, and other sectors.
The FCC has reversed its January 2025 cybersecurity ruling for telecom providers, eliminating the proposed national standards and annual certification requirements under CALEA. The change reduces formal compliance obligations, but it does not lessen the risks facing carriers as cyberattacks grow more frequent and more sophisticated. The reversal underscores how essential it is for service providers to rely on platforms built with strong inherent protections.
