The Patton SN4141 FXS device allows users to connect analog telephones to a VoIP network, facilitating communication through extensions created on the Vodia PBX. After logging in to the device and setting up extensions, users can utilize the Patton Wizard to configure FXS ports, entering necessary details such as the number of ports and the PBX IP address. Once the configuration is completed, it's uploaded to the device for it to register with the PBX, enabling seamless connectivity for analog devices in a VoIP environment.

Vodia’s 2025 marked a year of pragmatic AI adoption, unprecedented platform robustness, and laying the foundation for the next phase of the PBX. With version 69 reaching exceptional stability, focus has shifted to version 70, which introduces a redesigned admin interface and major architectural improvements in scalability, resilience, and flexibility. Alongside steady expansion of integrations and partner tooling, the roadmap for 2026 emphasizes refined user experiences, modernized apps, and continued investment in reliability over hype.
Delaying PBX upgrades may feel safe in the short term, but real-world dependencies like security standards, app compatibility, and vendor APIs eventually force reactive upgrades at the worst possible time. Staying reasonably current with Vodia PBX versions, rather than clinging to outdated releases or jumping on every new preview, helps maintain security, compatibility, and performance while avoiding emergency upgrades, especially as newer features and OS requirements become unavoidable.
The New York City Department of Education has issued a Request for Expression of Interest signaling its intent to modernize district-wide communications by moving away from legacy landline PBX systems. Serving 1.1 million students across 1,800 schools, the proposed transition to a cloud-based VoIP platform focuses on resiliency, scalability, multilingual capabilities, hybrid deployment options, and integration with Microsoft Teams for more than 150,000 staff members.
