Running Vodia on Windows provides familiarity and ease of integration with existing Windows applications, leveraging the platform's high performance and robust support. The proprietary nature of Windows incurs licensing costs, however, and its security vulnerabilities can pose risks without proper safeguards. On the other hand, Linux offers a cost-effective, stable, and secure environment, making it ideal for critical applications; its open-source nature allows for customization, though it may require a steeper learning curve for users unfamiliar with the system. Overall, the choice between Windows and Linux for Vodia depends on a business’s specific needs and resources.

Instead of installing an executable, use the browser! Because browsers have their own sandbox model for each web page, this gives you far better security. In addition to controlling the file system access, browsers also control microphones and cameras; when in use, they make sure the user can see what is being accessed and when. The browser also comes with an additional “feature”: when you close the tab, you are naturally on “do-not-disturb.” This is especially important for people working from home.

This guide outlines configuring Poly Edge B20 phones with the Vodia Phone System. Ensure your Vodia PBX is version 69.0.3 or higher, reset the Polycom phone to factory defaults, bind its MAC address to the PBX and set up auto provisioning. The process also involves obtaining the phone's IP address and logging in to the web interface. After rebooting, the phone seamlessly integrates with the Vodia PBX for efficient communication.

Editorial

When it comes to the right telephone system, the exact ratio doesn’t even matter: the system needs to support all modes of communication. Most organizations are figuring out which mode works best for each employee, and it would be unwise to address this while installing a new system. There are users who don't like to use the app and prefer a desktop phone; other users prefer the app. And there are cases when users want both.

Even though our Vodia PBX was designed for running on a public IP address from day one, it also gives you excellent on premise performance, making it a natural fit for DECT installations. The Vodia IOP is ideal for running the PBX in a private network if you don’t want to run a whole server just for the PBX; together with a DECT base station, this will give you everything you need to run a powerful, robust communication solution.

The most exciting part of the new release is the new front end — we are convinced the user-facing front end will play a crucial role in the coming years in delivering increased value to our end users. We were happy with our 67/68 front end, but we thought we could improve it and we ended up rebuilding it entirely. Version 69 puts the Vodia PBX front end on a solid foundation for years to come.

This is an auspicious occasion – we are marking the tenth anniversary of Vodia as a company. Congratulations, that is quite an achievement. And that’s what our podcast is going to be about, marking the path from 2012 to 2022, quite an evolution, lots of interesting things along the way, not to mention the pandemic and hybrid work and a whole bunch of things.
