Case Study: Mecca Hosting achieves global, flexible telephony with Digium's Asterisk

Mecca Hosting Uses Asterisk to Power LCR system Worldwide

Mecca Hosting, a web hosting and domain company, needed a flexible telecom solution that protected customer data and phone numbers while enabling a distributed workforce to make outbound calls without SIP phones. With strict privacy requirements and employees working from homes and hotels worldwide, the company required a customizable PBX platform that could operate from anywhere.

Mecca implemented a customized Asterisk solution — a Low Cost Routing system using MySQL and E.164 lookups plus a one‑click dial, proprietary call‑connect feature that lets staff place calls from any analog phone while displaying the company number to customers. The result was simplified, secure communications, operational flexibility and scalability (from on‑prem servers to the cloud), giving Mecca a durable competitive advantage.
