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.

Apple CarPlay support is now available with the Vodia iOS app, bringing essential PBX communication features to the vehicle display through Apple’s native in-car interface. Users can access recent calls, browse the extension directory, view colleague presence, listen to voicemail, use Siri for calls and PBX messages, and receive communication alerts, while built-in readiness checks and automatic recovery help maintain reliable access when network conditions change. The experience supports compatible wired and wireless CarPlay systems.
The certified integration between the Vodia PBX and the Infor Hospitality Platform brings hotel operations and guest communications together. Through support for UHLL and FIAS, the two systems can exchange essential guest and room information, helping hotels automate extension activation at check-in, room resets at check-out, guest moves, calling permissions, call billing, Do Not Disturb settings, housekeeping updates, and wake-up calls. This reduces manual work for hotel staff and keeps telephone services synchronized throughout each guest’s stay.
Digital autonomy gives MSPs control over how customer communications, data and infrastructure are deployed, managed, processed and stored. With Vodia, MSPs can build a flexible, branded communications service across cloud and on-premise environments while retaining control of pricing, service delivery, support and the customer relationship. This independence helps protect long-term account value, reduce reliance on third-party vendors and create more opportunities to expand services over time.
