What is freeswitch
From FreeSWITCH Wiki
FreeSWITCH™ is an open source communications platform written in C from the ground up. Licensed under the MPL and running natively on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, *BSD, and other Unix flavors. In this way, users are given many choices on how and where to run the software.
With a desire to not reinvent the wheel, it is designed to take advantage of as many existing software libraries as possible. It has a modular, extensible architecture, with only limited and necessary functionality in core. Optional modules can be employed to add virtually any functionality desired by the user.
