Hello, Those people currently aren't using any kind of phones, but the investment company that has this building "in the works" wants to deliver everything for them so they just have to - move in and do business.
What worries me is the fact that when you have 100-200 offices - they're used to having 2-3 lines only for them - one for fax, two for voice, etc. So, in a way, having in mind around 200-300 outbound calls at peak time is pretty much "normal". Also, when you think of the number of phones - it would only be normal to assume for people to have up to 1000 internal phone conversations peak (the less transcoding - the better, of course). I have a freedom of making whatever I want, so I can have a separate LAN for VoIP purposes only - a bunch of dedicated patch panels, VLANs on Cisco switches, or whatever. I'm just considering this setup way before it has to go online because of the price of traditional PBX for this kind of setup which can only make you hurl. And you know how much potential upgrades cost for a setup like this - a traditional PBX can be a nightmare :( Cheers, Vedran. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hans Witvliet Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 12:08 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] A rather big setup. I think there is more to consider. One or two fat machines in the basement forr connecting to the PSTN is very fine. But are all the people allready using voip handsets, or old fashioned analoge handsets? If so, you need quite a large number of channelbanks. You speak of 300/1500 concurrent phone calls? If so how many handsets are you considering? Is the lan capable of handling this load? Is the lan 100% dedicated for voip, or are there a bunch of servers/workstations also using this lan? Interesting project....
