Description
This training will teach you how to install Asterisk in an Ubuntu Server, build a complete, fully functional PBX with basic and advanced features.
Asterisk is a great opportunity for thousands of developers, resellers, system integrators, ITSPs, contact centers and small to large companies. You will have the freedom to deliver your own solutions. No more time spent discussing complicated licensing schemes. In our region 9 out of 10 Contact Centers use Asterisk do deliver its services.
A large amount of students who took our classes are now providing services or founded companies to work with Asterisk, Many of them developed dialers, call centers and other applications. Other students grew their businesses by leasing Asterisk boxes as a service, many in the cloud. There are many opportunities for professionals with Asterisk knowledge and experience. From 2005 to 2018 we have taught more than 2500 students at V.Office.
Asterisk is about generating real life results, the cost per T1/E1 port is less than 20% of the incumbents. You won't pay a penny for features such as Interactive Voice Response, VoiceMail, Fax, Queues and Computer Telephony Integration.
Asterisk is much easier than you think, any person with a small knowledge in Linux is capable to build a complete PBX.
The reason I jumped at Asterisk in 2004 was that I was frustrated with the cost of proprietary IP PBXs. I was upset by our vendors forcing us to invest thousands of dollars to sell their products controlling the market. I wanted to deliver for my customers, the best, the simplest and be the real trusted advisor, not only the sales pitcher. Sorry, I can't sell what I don't believe. I decided to investigate Asterisk and from the moment I installed at the first time, I knew it would lead to a revolution in telephony. Asterisk is not only a PBX, it is a sophisticated phone system. With Asterisk you can build PBXs, Voicemail servers, ITSP providers, Contact Centers and Application Servers.
I decided to write a book and it was published in 2005, named "Configuration Guide for Asterisk PBX", translated to Portuguese and Spanish. After this experience, I got my dCAP (Digium Certified Asterisk Professional) in 2006, easily passing the test in the first attempt. Since then, Asterisk has become an important source of work and income. We have installed hundreds of systems. I have actually created a new company called SipPulse Routing and Billing Solutions for SIP based on the experience with Asterisk and OpenSIPS.
This training covers some of the most recent developments of Asterisk such as the version 15 and chan_pjsip.

I am getting old and curriculums are one the most boring things I’ve ever read. So, my creative curriculum is below.
I live in the sunny island of Floripa, Brazil, the single most beautiful place in the world, married since 1988 with Clarice and father of Anna (28) and Pedro (32).
I’m a geek, entrepreneur and surfer, not necessarily in this order. With surf I learned a lesson, practice does not always lead to perfection!
My first technical achievement in life was to replicate the Start Trek’s Gorn Cannon in 1980. Something Myth Busters fail to do in 2009. Always loved fireworks and gunpowder. In 1981 I did the Kubrick’s cube. When there was no Internet or instructions. I got my first computer in 1982.
After graduating in Mechanical Engineering in 1989, for the right reasons, I got a job in IT. The air conditioning on IT was much better than the one in the factory floor. I worked as a support analyst, network, and database administrator. I learned SQL at that time, the single most valuable training I have ever had. It is still very useful even after 30 years.
In 1993 I founded a Novell Education Center and became Master CNE and Master CNI. I owe Novell everything I know about teaching classes and provide training. What they did in the 90’s was groundbreaking in the industry and still a reference
In 1996 I founded my first company V.Office. A Cisco Integrator. One of my best decisions, we still have a large base of customers. Now after 25 years, 6 dozen professional tests and certifications such as CCNP/CCDP, CCSP and CCIE written, the company is a success and run almost by itself.
In 2006, for the right reasons, I have started a series of ventures related to VoIP and Asterisk. I wrote a book and training on Asterisk to be accredited in the market. The motivation was to replace the expensive and obsolete gear from snob vendors.
In 2008 with the help of my Jedi friend Bogdan Iancu I wrote the book “Building Telephony Systems with OpenSER”, later updated to OpenSIPS. Together we have launched the OpenSIPS Bootcamp and the OpenSIPS Certified Professional certificate.
In 2010 after several years running IP PBXs, I decided to start a new company called SipPulse to develop soft-switches and high-volume telephony. SipPulse is one of my biggest successes having more than 300 active customers. It is now being managed by a professional administrator and doing very well.
This year, 2021 in the middle of the pandemic, for some wrong reason I didn’t figured out yet, I have started two new ventures voip.school and wehostvoip for VoIP hosting
I’m trying at least to make my courses a little more fun than the usual power point torture.
