It might be a good idea for you to describe your application and ask for suggestions.
How many concurrent calls do you need to handle? Do you need a few (or many) DIDs (actual phone numbers)? Are the DIDs in a single geographic area, or scattered all over the country(ies)? Is your application inbound-only, or will you be making outbound calls? Or will you be redirecting calls to outside agents? What is there about the SIP providers that you find unsatisfactory? --Don Don Kelly PCF Corp People Come First 651 842-1000 651 842-1001 fax -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Nick Khamis Sent: Friday, November 04, 2011 7:47 AM To: isr...@gmail.com; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] DID from Direct from Telco Thank you guys for your response, >> One FXS port can only handle one call. A PRI T1 gateway can handle 23 >> call channels. A single T1 Data line with SIP can >> handle about 18 >> call channels running G711, 37 channels running g729 I just want to make sure that a T1 Gateway (capable of 23 call channels), plugged into an FXS port (capable of one call), is not a bottleneck. I.e., even though our network can handle upto 23 channels, we can only support 1 concurrent call becuase of the single FXS? What I am trying to figure out is what would I need to have the same capabilities as a company offering DIDs. Which mediant, and maybe a nice illustration?
