In the past we have used Adtran Atlas 550's to break out FXS ports for
devices like modems. The great thing about the 550 is that internally
it is all TDM so there is absolutely zero latency.
We are able to use ATA's for faxes and analog phones but devices that
use modems, they fail 99.99% of the time when using an ATA.
We tried to migrate to TA908 devices; they have FXS ports built into
the unit. Unfortunately the FXS ports are just ATA's off of Asterisk,
no different than a SPA2012 unit.
The 550 is getting long in the tooth and very expensive for a few FXS
ports, what are you folks doing when someone has a need? It can be a
modem for the power company to read the meter, a postage machine that
needs to get more postage, an alarm system,etc.
Finding less and less need for analog circuits. Alarm -> envisalink,
postage machine -> ethernet based, pos terminal -> ethernet.
Fax is really the only need recently, and even that has alternatives
like emailing scans that most people prefer now.
Is the customer buying a POTS line and splitting it the only other way?
Thanks,
Matt
