The non-profit Raspberry Foundation from UK has designed and produced a low-cost computer for educational purposes. The importance of this project is that you have a complete computer (albeit low power) around 30 € + VAT.
The Raspberry Pi user community is growing dramatically and is becoming a device for all types of inventions. See for example the Adafruit blog.
GRN is playing with the device from the beginning (also on sale at the shop) and we are using it for various projects, follow our blog and twitter and see the possibilities you have.
Today it is required to backup locally and also highly recommended to make online backups. GRN has an online backup service that fulfills the requirements of the Spanish Data Protection Law that stores copies to our datacenter and using a simple and powerful software that is compatible with Linux, Windows and OSX .

The telephone is the part with which the user has more interaction, and for this reason, we focused in families of telephones that meet all the objectives of successful telephone system. Therefore, in the family of telephones, we have sought all kinds:
- Operator phone
- User phone
- DECT wireless phone
- WiFi wireless phone
- Meeting room phone
- Analog phone gateway
In addition, IP PBXs have an added value, you can use computers and smartphones (Android or iPhone) as telephony extensions, giving much more versatility to the system.
Our PBX are personalized and tailored to the needs of each costumer. We base every PBX on the Asterisk software that turns any computer into a PBX. For small projects, we use Supermicro servers with low-power Intel Atom processors. For larger projects, we use servers with more power, so that they are much more scalable and the hardware does not become a constraint.
We can add different types of cards to these servers, usually from Digium, Openvox and Beronet for the PBX interconnecting with traditional lines:
- Analog lines
- ISDN BRI lines
- ISDN PRI lines
Additionally, this versatility also gives us the option to interconnect VoIP PBX with other devices:
- GSM lines
- Door Openers connected to the telephony system
- Video door openers
And we can offer different service configurations:
- Unlimited extensions
- Costumized entrance recording
- Entrance menu with options
- Timetable definitions
- Attended call transfers
- unattended call transfers
- Voicemail
- Call pickup
- Waiting calls
- Costumized music on hold
- Short dialing

GRN provides you with some tools that are very useful in diagnosing problems with your connection.

In order to test the speed of your connection you can use this tool provided by GRN. |

This tool informs you about your current IP address. If you have a dynamic IP address, this tool helps you to know your IP address after every change. |
CMS
When a company considers to build a web site there are 2 options: build a customized web from scratch or use a CMS (content management system). In many cases the CMS solution is the most appropriate. Its advantages are:
- low cost, it is a free software solution.
- ease costumization by the user who has no knowledge of html code.
- flexibility, based on thousands of options available (themes and plugins).
The only drawback in certain cases will appear when we find the need to do things not permitted by CMS or its plugins, in these cases we will have to opt for a customized web.
GRN’s equation
GRN uses WordPress in combination with some theme that suits your needs. WordPress CMS is very easy to use, which does not mean it isn’t powerfull, in fact WordPress has become one of the most used CMS with a large community of users and active contributors. Although initially it was thought to produce blogs, currently has enough power to attack most web design approaches.
WordPress can give an external image to your website using any of the thousands of themes that are available to users. GRN have experience with many of them and we can help you choose it and make it fit your needs.
Therefore, the equation that we propose is GRN:
GRN + WordPress + chosen theme + training = dynamic web managed by the costumer
To success in this project, it should:
- Analyzing the functionality the web should have.
- Seeing if WordPress can successfully perform all functions.
- Analyzing the visual appearance of the site and see if you need the participation of a graphic designer.
- Installing WordPress into the costumer hosting (GRN’s task).
- Configuring all the environment WordPress (GRN’s task).
- Structuring web content (GRN’s task).
- Costumer training and the costumer itself creates de content of the web.
- Web updates management (GRN’s or costumer’s task).
