Carina PBX
The Carina PBX is a simple to use yet powerful IP PBX appliance that can support up to 500 SIP extensions. Used in conjunction with the Carina Event Manager line of servers, the Carina PBX allows for direct calling to IP endpoints or it can utilize SIP trunking with existing IP PBXs to avoid expensive third-party SIP license fees.

The Carina PBX helps organizations eliminate costly third-party SIP license fees by supporting up to 500 SIP endpoints (with Carina PBX firmware 2.4.3 or higher). It integrates with existing IP PBX systems via SIP trunking and allows organizations to set up their own SIP phone system using Wahsega devices. In addition to Wahsega endpoints, the Carina PBX supports any SIP device allowing the use of third-party SIP phones and endpoints.
With a built-in DHCP Server, the Carina PBX can also be an integral part of a truly isolated VoIP network when security or access is a concern.
Highlights:
- Powerful IP PBX
- Supports up to 500 SIP endpoints (with Carina PBX firmware 2.4.3 or higher)
- Built-in DHCP server
- Boots in <20 seconds

Wahsega’s line of PoE powered IP PBXs are an advanced IP PBX hardware appliance that allows Wahsega customers to easily create a full VoIP communication system with Wahsega’s intercoms, paging adapters, IP phones, IP speakers as well as any third-party SIP compliant devices. The Carina PBX is a multi-functional device which can act as an IP PBX, Paging Server, DHCP server and a VoIP gateway.
Since the PBX is an embedded appliance, not an application running on a PC or a Linux platform, it allows for rapid, fully functional boot times of 10-20 seconds and has near zero risk of viruses, and it is impervious to all common hacking methods. It is also designed to operate at Industrial temperature extremes (-40°C to +60°C). With the PBX built in DHCP Server, it allows for simple LAN islands for paging and intercoms without the cumbersome setup issues using VoIP devices in peer-to-peer mode with static IP addresses.
What makes the PBX unique is its super set of paging & background music functionality and ease of deployment capabilities.
With simple installation and programming, advanced functionality and reduced labor and installation costs, the Wahsega PICs is the perfect solution for a wide range of applications.
