What is HomoFon?

HomoFon is a Phone Operation Center (POC) whose goal is to provide a DECT telephone infrastructure for small events.

Why is HomoFon?

Inspired by DECT networks at Chaos events, a few students thought it would be fun to offer a similar system for smaller events. After some brainstorming and trial and error, HomoFon was born.

How does HomoFon work?

HomoFon provides a DECT telephone system. Event participants can bring a DECT phone and log into the HomoFon network. They can then use the phones to make calls within the network. In the long term, we plan to enable calls to and from the landline network as well.

Projects

ExtRA - Extension Registration and Administration utility

This is our main project, containing all the management logic for managing all the extensions and call groups. It provides a webserver for users and admins for managing the telephone system. Currently work in progress and not ready to use.

PixelFon

A phone based variant of the popular PixelFlut game. We built this as a side project as part of a game jam
