Best external T1/E1 gateway?

[nathans]

HI,

 

I was wondering what experience do folks around here have with external T1/E1 digital gateways and snomOne?

I know some work with Patton and I hear they are rock solid with very good support but they also have a high end price.

Any others out there that are easy to configure without having to get a PhD first?

Any chance something like a RedFone foneBRIDGE2 could work with snomOne??

 

Thanks!

I don't know much about SnomOne, but I know Mediatrix 3531/3631 are affordable E1/T1 gateays and not so hard to get going.

 

These units also have tons of interop settings, so I'm sure you'll be able to get going.

SIP interoperability is not the big problem with PSTN gateways. I would focus on having good echo cancellation, and overall stable design. Fortunately, there are a handful of excellent choices, the above included.

@Nathan - yes, there are a lot of good choices. The 2 things we like about patton is they are rock-solid (set and forget) and we have found their support to be unrivaled in the industry. (But not rock bottom price I'm sure.)

 

But there are a lot of good units/vendors.

 

Here is an article that while it doesn't speak on T1 specifically the overall comments about vendors seems to be true across board.
