Chat, video meetings and phone calls in one place.

IronHall

Chat and meetings, wired into the phone system you already own.

IronHall is chat, video meetings and telephony in one place. The part Teams cannot match is the last one — it registers against the Asterisk PABX already sitting in your comms room, so your desk phones, extensions and numbers keep working.

What it does
  • It speaks to the PABX you already have

    IronHall registers as a real SIP endpoint against Asterisk or FreePBX, including busy-lamp field and message-waiting indication. Extensions, hunt groups and the numbers on your letterhead carry on working.

  • Click a name, the desk phone rings

    Presence, click-to-dial and blind transfer work between the software and the handsets, so nobody has to choose between the two.

  • Take over a screen without a second product

    Remote desktop control is part of the same system, which for an IT team means support happens in the conversation where the problem was reported.

  • Meetings that survive real networks

    Audio and video run through a selective forwarding unit rather than peer-to-peer, which is what makes a call with more than three people hold together on ordinary connections.

  • Nothing copyleft in the stack

    The chat server, the media server and the client libraries are all permissively licensed. That is a deliberate constraint, and it is what allows IronHall to be installed on hardware you own.

  • Three tiers of administrator

    Tenant, reseller and platform administrators each see only their own scope, and every elevation of privilege is written to an audit log.
