3CX brings together Elastix and PBX in a Flash communities
Not so long ago, two popular manufacturers of Asterisk assemblies announced right away that the next versions of their systems will work on the 3CX core! We welcome and are proud of the fact that the large Elastix and PBX in a Flash communities have joined the dynamic 3CX community!
Both manufacturers have for some time considered replacing the system core. The previous version of PBX in a Flash worked on the Asterisk and FreePBX bundle and was subject to licensing restrictions . A similar situation exists with the 4 version of the Elastix system .
After the release of version 3CX for Linux, it turned out to be expedient to combine the efforts of communities and developers to produce truly first-class products. Ready-made assemblies for the deployment of PBX on “bare iron” received a new technological core.
Both assemblies have already been very popular on the market - for example, only Elastix has over 100,000 registered installations and tens of thousands of daily downloads of the free version. Therefore, we will try to take into account the wishes of existing users. For example, already now a convenient migration mechanism is available for Elastix users - the Elastix configuration converter to 3CX . We also offer all existing Elastix and PBX in a Flash partners to continue to maintain existing partnerships. You should have received an e-mail with relevant information. But if you have not received it, fill out the partner registration form and get the NFR license here .
Elastix and PBX in a Flash users receive a perpetual free license for 8 simultaneous calls (organization for about 25 users). For this:

In conclusion, we quote company executives:
Edgar Landivar, CEO of Palosanto (ELastix): “We have been looking for a replacement for the existing switching core for some time. The 3CX PBX is a simple, open and full featured system. The development of the Linux version and the availability of a free edition makes it an excellent choice for Elastix 5. We are especially impressed with the built-in video conferencing on WebRTC technology. I’m sure that Elastix users will benefit from this solution. ”
Ward Mundy, developer of PBX in a Flash: “We had difficulties with the development of the next version of PBX in a Flash, considering the marketing steps taken by FreePBX. 3CX for Linux offers an excellent unified communications solution, while ensuring simple installation, minimal administration and excellent security. A simple licensing scheme and the availability of the free version are almost ideal for PBX in a Flash users. The PBX in a Flash developers unanimously selected 3CX as the best platform for PIAF5. ”
