Obtaining a reliable, fault tolerant, highly available system with ASTERISK® has been difficult and nearly impossible especially from the PRI/TDM standpoint. IP based toolsets have been around for a number of years to allow integrators the ability to provide fault-tolerance on the VoIP side of their implementation. Until today however, providing quick, reliable and robust T1/E1 fail-over has been nearly non-existent. The foneBRIDGE fills this void allowing IT Managers and Systems Integrators to implement Asterisk in the most demanding of environments where downtime is a luxury a business simply can not afford.
Key Product Features
- 1 T1/E1 PRI Trunk Termination Ports
- Legacy PBX-to-Asterisk integration
- High-Availability/Failover Asterisk Clusters
- Channel Bank connectivity
- Mixed telephony enviroments (E1 PRI’s + T1 Channel Banks)
- Perfect for BLADE servers where PCI slots are not available.
- Asterisk and Trixbox Supported
Product Benefits
- Failover and HA Enabled
- High-Availability through rapid failover capabilities ensures your critical telephony services are always on and available
- Flexible Configuration
- Configurable on a per-port basis, foneBRIDGE2 allows you to mix multiple telephony standards on a single deployment
- Solid State Embedded Appliance
- No moving components. Low heat and power consumption ensures high MTBF (mean time before failure)
Field Upgradeable
- Our highly flexible and powerful FPGA architecture allows users to quickly upgrade units in the field when product enhancements and new features are released.
Simplifies Installation
- True Plug & Play hardware
