I think there are none doing this at this moment. Here's what I know tho:
1. I haven't seen the contracts or legal papers involved in the certification
2. I've never done a connector even tho I worked with companies that did in the past
3. I know that the homologation/certification costs money and not little money. As far as I know, there are differences between countries when it comes to the fee to be paid. Here is Argentina it is something close to USD$5.000,00.
4. For you to be officially certified by them, you need to have your system installed on at least 3 hotels with Fidelio, otherwise you just lost money.
That should pretty much give you a hint of what you are facing when it comes to the certification process. Does your project accomodate these imposed barriers? If they do, I might be able to help.

hi Joćo,
since you had FIAS experience, would a commercial mod_fias license/certification be possible just like g.729?re companies selling FIAS connectors, i can't find one that connects FS to Fidelio. otherwise, they would sound off in this thread.
-nandy2011/7/6 Joćo Mesquita <jmesquita@freeswitch.org>Guys, be careful because I think this document as well as the protocol are confidential. I had to sign an NDA with Fidelio to get my hands on it and pay a fee for it as well. You might as well confirm it since you all seem to be in the US where this type of information might be easier to get.There are LOTS of companies selling their connectors to Fidelio...One other point is that you need to have the certification with them to be considered compatible, otherwise, no consultant will install the connector on the fidelio side.
Regards,Joćo Mesquita

I'm assuming it's this document:
ftp://ftp.veracomp.com.pl/net/nomadix/Nomadix%20-%20PMS%20info/FIAS150.pdf
Quite easy to google once I had the version number.
You may find the nicest approach is to write a FOSS libfias, then write an endpoint module to tie FS and libfias together. Plenty of existing endpoint modules (mod_sofia mod_skinny mod_opal mod_h323 etc) can show you examples to get you started. Don't forget to read the FS API documentation too: http://docs.freeswitch.org/
I'm assuming there are no license/patent restrictions to using FIAS?
Good luck!

Hello Nandy,A couple of months ago I started some research on the subject and concluded I had to write my own interface to FS, however I haven't had the time to get the project off ground yet.I do have a copy of FIAS specification version 1.5 from 2001 which is publicly available I am sure it's not the latest but it should cover the basics.Please contact me off list if you have a hard time getting it online.RegardsOn Mon, Jul 4, 2011 at 4:07 PM, Nandy Dagondon <gcd@i.ph> wrote:
