Vodia: We Are Committed to Supporting Panasonic Customers as Panasonic Departs PBX and SIP Businesses

Published on:

April 23, 2021

Back in February, we announced we would support Panasonic customers as Panasonic departs its PBX and SIP businesses, and we remain committed to doing so. Comprehensive support. What does this mean, exactly? Panasonic users will need to source alternative communications solutions once these items are no longer supported, before the year 2023, and Vodia is ready to provide comprehensive, best-in-class cloud and on-premise multi-tenant systems to Panasonic customers.

Back in February, we announced we would support Panasonic customers as Panasonic departs its PBX and SIP businesses, and we remain committed to doing so. Comprehensive support. What does this mean, exactly? Panasonic users will need to source alternative communications solutions once these items are no longer supported, before the year 2023, and Vodia is ready to provide comprehensive, best-in-class cloud-based and on-premise multi-tenant systems to Panasonic customers.

The Vodia PBX not only matches the functionality of existing systems, but we have also added important features that will improve end-user productivity. We believe the ability to work from home, and from other locations (anywhere there’s Internet connectivity), will play a major role in upgrading existing customers. We have a cloud solution ready for our partners; we also have on-premise solutions for partners who prefer to continue running their systems on their own.

If your company will be affected by the departure of Panasonic from its PBX and SIP businesses, reach out to us, sales@vodia.com, and explore your options. This is a great time for cloud telephony. For Panasonic users planning to transition to other devices, the Vodia PBX offers easy integration with desk and conference phones, smartphones, cordless phones, analog terminal adapters and FXO/FXS gateways. This includes: 

  • Panasonic KX- UT113/123/133/136/248,
  • KX-UT670 and KX-UTG200B/300B.

Installations can mix these devices with devices from other manufacturers. Check out our supported phones. For customers requiring on-premises service, the Vodia iOP can be used in addition to a large range of PC-compatible server equipment.

“This is a great opportunity for Panasonic dealers to take a serious look at Vodia,” said Kyle Asbury, Director, Sales, and Marketing. “Customers can keep their existing Panasonic phones with Vodia, making for a seamless migration path.”

Why Area Codes Still Matter in a Mobile World

Even in 2025, area codes remain important for personal and business communications. People move frequently but usually keep their original phone numbers because changing them is inconvenient and tied to banking, two-factor authentication, and multiple online accounts. For PBX administrators, area codes are essential for routing calls accurately, displaying the correct caller ID, and managing costs. Vodia PBX simplifies area code management with pattern-based dial plans, automatic updates, and smart trunk selection. This ensures that calls reach the right destination efficiently, maintain a local presence to increase pickup rates, and provide reliable communication both in North America and internationally.

Keycloak OpenID Connect Integration for the Vodia PBX

Vodia’s PBX now integrates with Keycloak OpenID Connect, providing secure single sign-on for users so they can access all connected applications without repeated authentication. Logging out from one application automatically logs the user out of all connected systems, simplifying user management and improving security. Keycloak, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, supports standard protocols including OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML, offering enterprise-grade identity and access management. To ensure proper integration, Keycloak user emails must match the corresponding PBX extension emails. Complete guidance is available in the Vodia Keycloak integration guide.
