The price difference is HUGE. Analog i about 66% cheaper.

But you then need some sort of analogue adapter/interface to feed the analogue GSM module...

Although if you've already got this, it's a obviously a cheaper option.

However, here in the UK, the price difference isn't that bad, but it might be that the number of ports you'rea fter makes a difference - e.g. a 2-port SIP Portech units is £321, a single (analogue) port Telecom FM unit is £119. (so actually slightly cheaper for 2 ports with SIP Ethernet Interfaces here), but if you're looking at a dozen channels it might well be different..

However - to your original question - I've used both the Portech and Telecom FM units (on a TDM 400 card) and not really been able to tell the difference. The Portech dials quicker, the Telecom FM obviously needs to get the number passed via DTMF, but since GSM is ... GSM which is pretty poor speech quality to start with, it didn't make any difference I could tell.

Hi all,
We have been planing for a long time to set up GSM mobile trunks for
termination, and were planing on going with analog GSM adapters connected
to
a VoIP gateway.  Should we be concerned with such a set-up as far as
voice
quality and other issues are concerned?  Any experiences with GSM
terminal
chipsets?

Why not SIP based GSM devices? e.g. Portech?
