Building communication apps like Voice over IP (VoIP) phone systems uses the free and open-source software foundation Asterisk. Mark Spencer, a college student studying computer engineering at the time, developed it in 1999. In order to meet his own requirement for a phone system that could run on common hardware, Spencer created Asterisk as a side project.
Asterisk was initially primarily meant for personal use, but as Spencer made it accessible to the open-source community, enthusiasm for the project increased. With time, companies looking to create unique phone systems or enhance already-existing systems with new capabilities began to favour Asterisk. Asterisk is currently one of the most extensively used open-source VoIP technologies and is utilised by businesses of all sizes throughout the world.
