The Vodia Experts LinkedIn group enhances channel support by providing a platform for Vodia resellers to collaborate, share insights and integrations, and cultivate a community based on best practices. It also serves as a source of guidance and support for its members.
We invite all Vodia partners to join the Vodia Experts group. You don’t have to be technical: we welcome everyone, and we would love to see participation from technical, developers,sales and marketing professionals.
Vodia’s open API enables resellers to complete their own integrations and develop interfaces and utilities that expand the Vodia ecosystem. Vodia Experts serves as a platform for resellers to demonstrate, share and showcase their accomplishments with other like-minded partners, offering, at the same time, a collaborative space for seeking and/or providing assistance and guidance. It’s the ideal place to observe how other resellers collaborate with Vodia, and to find out what works (and what doesn’t). It’s also a perfect platform for discussing prospective features, before submitting them as formal feature requests.
“Vodia Experts is another avenue of support for Vodia resellers,” said Eric Altman, Sales Engineer, Vodia, “a collaborative space where resellers can discuss their experiences and share their knowledge and, ultimately, help each other grow.”
“We will announce webinars and other events including product launches,” said Stuart Rudd, Director of Channel Development, UC-Reseller, “and we are looking for marketing and PR content from our members, which we will promote into other channels on our members behalf, amplifying the coverage for our valued partners. Ultimately, we are telling the channel, ‘we want our partners’ voices to be heard, as experts in their field.’ We have identified a collaborative, exciting way to connect Vodia resellers, and we want to create a cohesive and informative atmosphere wherein our members help each other gain market share. I’m really excited about what we will accomplish.”
“We are excited about the opportunities Vodia Experts gives us to develop and share more content, including press releases, blog posts and, hopefully, case studies,” said David Porter, VP of Communications, Vodia. “We hope Vodia Experts becomes a source of quality content for everyone, from MSPs to traditional telcos. We look forward to sharing this content within the group and beyond.”

Vodia Networks has been a trendsetter in the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) industry for over a decade. Since 2006, Vodia has led the VoIP world in innovation and forward-thinking development, particularly with its early adoption of a multi-tenancy platform for its customers – Vodia was the first company to offer a true multi-tenancy platform and it remains one of the very few companies that can deliver it. Vodia’s multi-tenancy platforms are compatible with an unprecedented number of technologies, including desk phones, softphones and APIs for numerous third-party SW and CRM systems.
This document details the beta version of the Vodia PBX that connects to the OpenAI realtime API, enabling users to interact with a chatbot via telephone. The backend JavaScript code facilitates the connection, handling audio input and output, and the WebSocket connection to the OpenAI API. The setup requires a Vodia PBX version 69.5.3 or higher, an API key, and a license with an IVR node. The demo can be accessed by editing the ivrnode.js template and creating an IVR node in the tenant. The system supports various VoIP devices and offers good voice quality. Future improvements include voice activity detection and the ability to take actions based on OpenAI responses.
Vodia’s cloud PBX system enhances the Do-Not-Disturb (DND) function for hotels, allowing guests to manage their privacy through buttons in the room or on the phone. The system syncs with PMS for seamless functionality, enabling hotel operators to manually override DND when guests struggle to disable it. For critical situations, like room service follow-ups, the system allows specific extensions to bypass DND, ensuring guests are reachable when needed. VIP guest management features, guest-to-guest call restrictions and automatic resets upon checkout ensure privacy, security, and convenience, improving the guest experience while maintaining operational efficiency.
As businesses increasingly adopt Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), understanding its impact on Voice over IP (VoIP) is essential. While WLAN offers flexibility and mobility, it can lead to call quality issues due to packet loss and bursts during access point switching. To combat these challenges, organizations can utilize robust codecs like OPUS which are designed to handle packet loss effectively and employ Session Border Controllers (SBCs) to enhance jitter buffers. By incorporating these solutions, companies can ensure a more reliable VoIP experience that meets the demands of modern workplaces, allowing seamless communication without interruptions.
