Welcome to Kazoo, an ambitious project to bring cloud-based VoIP and telecommunications to everyone. Our goal is to provide the world with a free, open telecommunications software platform. Released under the OSI-approved MPL 1.1 open source software license, we're building upon strong FOSS components like GNU/Linux, Erlang, FreeSWITCH, CouchDB (specifically BigCouch), and RabbitMQ. Our project is a great example of the wonderful things that can happen when software is open.
Kazoo is an API-based platform that lets you use your existing phones, programming languages and IT skills to build voice, video and SMS services. We focus on building a simple, powerful communications platform and let you focus on marketing, servicing and integrating communications with your clients systems.
Dubbed a "scalable, distributed, cloud-based" telephony platform, Kazoo provides simple to use, consistent API so that people who know little about building telecom systems can still dive in and utilize the power of the phone network. In practical terms that means you can create your own phone service in the cloud. Or on a server in your mother's basement. Or in a distributed cluster of servers around the globe. It's up to you.
We're a bunch of crazy engineers who dreamt of a world where business communications wasn't so complicated. So we abandoned the old infrastructure altogether and teamed up to build a new platform from the ground up that would take out all the complexity while giving the power of customization to you, the user.
Led by the founders of successful commercial and open-source telephony and networking projects, our carrier-grade software helps people create solid voice, video and SMS solutions that work. We provide you with the open-source infrastructure to run your own hosted PBX service, conferencing platform or any API-powered VoIP service that scales as your company grows!
We are an exciting team of experienced and knowledgeable thought leaders in the enterprise communications space. Our experience ranges from hosting and managing services to carrier-grade termination, software design and professional services. Let us know how we can help you and, in return, we will ensure 2600hz is always leading the way in cloud telecom.
Everyone can!
No problem! We have many different places where folks can chip in time. These include (but aren't limited to):
