In doing so, they gained unrivaled expertise in the esoteric field of software-defined telecom. Minessale and team took on the most complex programming problems, creating a software switch capable of seamlessly processing and translating the myriad media formats and protocols involved in real-time communications, designed on a stable and elegantly scalable platform. The project was started in 2005 by CEO Anthony Minessale and a group of developers who had been major contributors to other open-source telecom projects such as the Asterisk PBX. SignalWire's open-source platform is used by most popular commercial cloud communications companies as well as developers and enthusiasts around the world.

This announcement coincides with the 15th anniversary of the project, now widely regarded as the de facto software package for embedding communications capabilities within computer applications.

27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - SignalWire, Inc., the original geeks of software-defined telecom and primary sponsors of the FreeSWITCH open-source platform, announced today that the project's code is now officially hosted on SignalWire's GitHub repository.
