14 Sep-15 Slide 14 Introducing WARP the appliance PIKA WARP the Appliance is a small, low cost development platform that can be used to deploy telephony based applications using Linux and/or Asterisk in small office/home office (SOHO) and small/medium Enterprise (SME) markets. Unlike typical PC + board alternatives, the appliance eliminates hardware and software integration issues in a reliable, solid state and brandable form factor and includes traditional hardware based telephony features

15 Sep-15 Slide 15 Value proposition Improve your product portfolio in low end (SoHo, SME) with a cost effective platform Same programmability (look and feel) as your other open source or proprietary based systems Benefit from open source software community and WARP Xtra community to improve time to market Green, environmentally friendly Priced to sell High initial user acceptance PIKA: 20+ years, stable company with highly valued support organization

16 Sep-15 Slide 16 Who / what is it for? Computer telephony developers Asterisk/Open Source Developers Linux developers who are keen to move to an embedded development environment “made easy” Automated processing tools eliminate the requirement for “hard core” embedded development skills Sample applications: IP-PBX IVR (self-service) Fax server Predictive dialing Alert notification Logging

33 Software - Additions Ability to add any software package that your application requires such as... Libraries for processing audio – MP3 libraries Pearl SOX – Audio Library Java Apache Check the PIKA Warp Community for regular additions http://pikawarp.org

34 Sep-15 Slide 34 APIs To access telephony hardware if not using Asterisk … High level Grandprix API Low level HMP API these are the same PIKA APIs that are used on standard boards Sample code available from PIKA website Additional appliance specific APIs have been added to the SDK control the audio in/out ports and the LCD Note: In Asterisk, audio ports are referenced in the dialplan and the LCD is integrated into the channel driver but can be changed

35 Regulatory Approvals North American telecoms and safety (FCC/UL/CSA) European Union (CE) RoHS compliant Others upon request

36 Sep-15 Slide 36 PIKA’s Development Kit “PIKA Application Development Suite” (PADS) What is it? a software package installed on any standard x86 Linux computer creates ALL the software that will run on the PIKA Warp Appliance automated process for converting code for the appliance Why is it necessary? the appliance has a different processor (embedded) and different memory (no hard drive) than a standard PC

37 Sep-15 Slide 37 PADS development process PADS runs on any Linux X86 PC connects to WARP appliance via LAN/RS232 Functions conversion/compression from PC to AMCC CPU, burns image tracks location where source and destination files are stored simulates embedded AMCC CPU on regular PC for developers Input source code, locations of files Output converted and compressed files that can be loaded on Warp Linux distro independent

38 Sep-15 Slide 38 The PADS Process – Step #1 Select which software packages you want to include Asterisk – yes or no? Asterisk GUI – yes or no? SQlite Database – yes or no? DNS – yes or no? PIKA Media Processing – yes or no? Busybox – yes or no?

39 Sep-15 Slide 39 The PADS Process – Step #2 Hit ‘GO’ Downloads source code from the internet for all packages selected Cross-compiles and prepares the code for the appliance

40 Sep-15 Slide 40 The PADS Process – Step #3 Run “make image” command to create the ‘image’ file created by PADS. Copy this to the WARP via serial or ethernet, and run warploader. Every time the appliance is turned on it will run this code

41 Sep-15 Slide 41 The Benefits of PADS Much less technical knowledge of an embedded environment required Much less setup time Portable mechanism from machine to machine in case replacement or duplication is required Automated process makes the image easily reproducible

42 Sep-15 Slide 42 Upgrading boxes in the field Copy new image files (created by PADS) to the appliance in the field Run the ‘burn-in’ program Re-boot the appliance Can all be automated No truck-roll required

BRI – late Q4 GSM – projected 2nd half 2009

48 Sep-15 Slide 48 Major Differentiators Customizable software development platform (PADS) Reliability power fail transfer ports solid state /no hard drive dynamic thermal management (fan) Hardware telephony features single built in FXS port audio in/out ports optional modules (FXO/FXS/BRI)

49 Sep-15 Slide 49 Major Differentiators Programmable display Easily brandable Unique look Proven voice applications

50 Green Friendly Uses 18 times less energy than a PC with boards power supply – low power usage 20 w = 175 kwh per year versus 350 w / 3000 kwh per year for PC with boards 10 times less end-of-life disposal space 100% lead free enviro-safe paint outer packaging is 100% recycled materials

51 Sep-15 Slide 51 Summary PIKA WARP is a cost effective, solid state, computer replacement Offers many hardware telephony features that other appliances don’t have PADS is a unique application customization environment For more information www.pikatech.com/appliance http://pikawarp.org (Community)http://pikawarp.org
