Freepbxx built on Asterisk primarily for single orgs whereas Fusionpbx is built on freeswitch designed for multi tenant and carrier grade deployments. Is that what you were looking for or something more specific in relation to this project ?

Vicidial experimental right now and is on the roadmap as soon as I get time and setup vicidial in my own environment, it requires exhaustive testing :)

Freepbx, Fusionpbx uses Freeswitch. This is built for Asterisk but there is nothing stopping from setting a SIP trunk from Freeswtich to Asterisk box to make use of Agents like this user did https://github.com/hkjarral/AVA-AI-Voice-Agent-for-Asterisk/...

Thanks, it depends a lot on what are you trying to do, if you are going to use just cloud providers you don't need a heavy system , a simple system with 2 cores 4 GB RAM with asterisk should suffice, if the call volume is low.

But if you want to go full local route then you need GPU and if call volume is heavy then more RAM and CPU.

Basic hardware should be handle 20-30 concurrent calls with a cloud provider.

Full breakdown of hardware requirements is captured in this document: https://github.com/hkjarral/AVA-AI-Voice-Agent-for-Asterisk/...
