That is just silly. You mean to say that the Adtran and the Adit
units are not as reliable as these new devices. No way.
I have had channel banks fail yes, and I stick by my assertion that
failing a small $50 box is a lot less painful on the wallet and users
than a channel bank with most of the extensions on it, this changes as
the scale goes up though.
I would only use a channel bank where the size can justify at least 3 of
them, and I would never use a T1 based one again I would use the
ethernet to FXS ones.
I use a combination of analog and voip phones and there are various
reasons for each being the type it is, one solution doesn't always fit
everything, even within a single system.
Get Adtrans, buy a four port T1 card or even better get the redfone
device and do HA Linux between to boxes, you have immediate failover.

I seriously doubt any product on the market is as solid, tried, and
true as the traditional channel bank.
You can pickup these channel banks very cheap used, and often find
them in telco closets that have been abandoned.
Thanks,

just talking in general terms here I have found this sort of hardware is not

I wouldn't go more than a 24port device and for 100 users I would get 5 or 6
of them depending on the exact numbers and have one as a hot spare that can
just be swapped in quickly if one of the others dies.
my analog stuff is all on spaxxxx or pap2t right now and I find that working
out better for me than T1 card and channel bank was in the past, but the
cabling is not as neat and tidy. Its a lot easier pill to swallow when 2
extensions die than 24 for me.
I’m looking for an fxs <-> sip gateway/router/switch for about 100 existing
analog phones. I’d like to get this done cheaply, but I want to make sure
that whatever we buy works well with asterisk as well. As far as I can
tell, digium make no such device. The only ones I’ve been able to find with
a 48 port capacity are these two:
Sangoma Vega 5000 50 FXS + 2 FXO Gateway
(http://www.voipsupply.com/sangoma-vega-5000-50fxo-2fxs)
Realtone WSS120 VoIP Gateway
(http://www.realtonetech.com/product/voip-gateways/86-wss120-series-voip-gateways.html#description)
Does anyone have any experience with either of these products/vendors, or
any suggestions for a different piece of hardware?
Thanks
-Justin
