Small businesses looking to upgrade their telecom situation are sometimes apprehensive. Solutions are often complex and typically require some degree of technical expertise to deploy. If you don’t already have it in house—and most with fewer than 20 employees do not—that expertise is going to cost you.

On Wednesday, our neighbors to the north, Jazinga, formerly released their new VoIP Phone System for the SOHO market. Now, I know you are probably thinking,
“Garrett, there are dozens of VoIP Phone Systems out there. What’s so exciting about another one coming to market?”
Well, I have had the privilege of using the Jazinga box in my home for the last few weeks and I can say that the Jazinga MGA120 is no “me-too” phone system.

TORONTO – September 23, 2008 – Jazinga Inc. today announced the official launch of Jazinga, its telephone system for small businesses. A modern era telephone system, Jazinga is an IP/PBX (Internet Protocol/Private Branch Exchange) appliance that combines the features of high-end, corporate telephone systems with wireless networking, fax and e-mail. In contrast to enterprise systems with similar functionality, Jazinga is offered at a fraction of the cost and is easy enough to install, use and maintain that IT and telephony professionals are not required for set up or support.
In answer to the dearth of solutions – premise-based and hosted – for very small businesses, Canada-based Jazinga Inc. Tuesday officially launched its eponymous IP PBX targeting the under 20 employee business market.

We’ve a bit of a fetish for little broadband boxes that sit around your home and office under desks and TVs. A key battleground for the future includes equipment like home hubs, femtocells, and set top boxes. If the edge of the network is where the smarts are, it’s also where the money will be made, since these are gateways to the customer for all kinds of voice, video and data services.

For those of you who remember “The A Team” you’ll recall the line “I love when a plan comes together.” Well in the case of client Jazinga, those words really ring true.

I got a piece of hardware from UPS on Monday from a company called Jazinga. It’s a Wifi-enabled router with a PBX that promises to make it possible to have a PBX up and running without an IT staff. In it’s pre-release form, it’s not quite like that, but with some bug fixes (and updated documentation), this could be really big.

Jazinga is a Canadian VoIP software startup that offers a small business telephone solution, among other VoIP technology procurements. The solution works with SIP phones and consists of a shiny grey appliance that certainly conjures thoughts of its contemporary, the Asterisk Appliance, another VoIP telephone system from Digium. When I first looked at the Asterisk Appliance, I was mostly impressed–there were a few key things missing, though, and if Jazinga can seize on Digium’s shortcomings with their product, I’ll give ‘em a high-five.
