We put eyes on the
gear others ignore.
Businesses everywhere still run mission-critical voice on legacy PBX systems from Cisco, Avaya, Mitel, Nortel, and families including AudioCodes, Grandstream, Oracle, Panasonic, and Siemens — alongside the switches, firewalls, and UPS power that keep them online. The general monitoring tools most IT teams already run can't see any of it.
RelayForge Labs builds the monitoring and alerting layer for that equipment — so the team that owns uptime knows the moment a trunk drops, a gateway fails, or a UPS runs to battery. And when it's time to move to cloud UC, the same data scopes the migration.
What we stand for.
“No team should learn their phone system is down from the people trying to use it. Every legacy system should be watched — and your data should stay under your control.”
Customer-Controlled
The platform runs on your infrastructure, behind your firewall. Your telemetry data stays under your control. No vendor lock-in — deploy anywhere you choose.
Secure by Design
CIS Level 2 hardened base images. FIPS 140-2 cryptographic modules. SELinux enforcing. TPM 2.0 auto-unseal for Vault Transit. Ed25519 signing and mTLS at every hop. Outbound-only WebSocket — no inbound attack surface, no egress of raw telemetry.
Deploy Your Way
Docker Compose for lab and small sites. K3s with Calico eBPF for production. Fully air-gapped installer bundles for sovereign environments. Same platform, three deployment shapes — you pick the one that fits the site.
Built for the Edge
Low-resource collectors designed to run on commodity hardware in PBX closets. Under 50ms collection latency. Disk-backed WAL means zero data loss on network disruption.
Partner-Driven
The collector matrix grows through evidence-backed vendor work. Unsupported platforms stay marked as planned until documentation and runtime coverage exist.
How we got here.
RelayForge Labs LLC founded to put monitoring and alerting on the legacy voice and network gear other tools ignore.
CTRP v1.0 protocol specification finalized. First 8 collectors shipped.
Reached 30+ collector types across 20+ voice and network families and protocol collectors. Edge Gateway beta released.
Web API, Collector Manager, and Dashboard v1.0 shipped as a fully customer-hosted stack. Browser-to-data path moved entirely inside the customer network.
Edge Collector reorganized into two modules on a shared runtime: VoiceForge for voice and PBX, NetForge for network, wireless, and power. Customers can license either, or both.
Fully offline installer bundle for sovereign and classified environments. Self-service license portal for module entitlement and renewal.
Built by practitioners.
RelayForge Labs was founded by infrastructure engineers who have lived the pain firsthand — the 2 a.m. call that a phone system is down, with no monitoring that saw it coming. We've run Cisco CUCM clusters, Avaya Aura estates, Nortel CS1000 systems, and the mixed vendor environments that now include AudioCodes, Grandstream, and Panasonic. We built RelayForge because we needed it.
Ben Receveur
Ben founded RelayForge Labs to help customers see and monitor the legacy infrastructure their business still runs on. He has spent his career inside those estates — the aging PBXs, SBCs, and network gear that keep an organization running yet stay invisible to modern monitoring tools — and built Edge Collector so the teams who own that uptime get real visibility and alerting, and hear about a problem before their users do. He leads product and engineering across the platform.
