Hi there everyone!
I work at an office where we plant to have about 12-15 phone extensions. Costs of PBX are cheaper, but they are not expandable and, as the office is brand new, I want to use all modern stuff.
My question is: if I buy 12-15 Grandstream Budgetone 101 phones, and install and asterisk server, as well as a Digium TDM400 for POTS access, will I have the same voice quality and standards as a PBX-only, with "traditional" phones? Or should I go all the way to Digium's TDM? Or should I forget the whole thing and get a traditional PBX? ;)
If you already have the analog telephone wiring in place, and you are on a budget, I recomend you to use sipura spa-2000 adapters. They are a whole lot better than GS phones. You can have 3way conferences and attendant transfers. With GS you cannot do that. The price is as good for the sipuras as the GS phones, about $50 per FXS port, plus a cheap analog phone and you will be all set.
My concerns are most latencies. Our network will be a switch with lots of ports, all 100mb/s, with VERY low traffic.
Internal calls (SIP to SIP) will sound great. You will probably experience some echo when going to POTS. I did not try the Sipura SPA-3000 yet, but it seems to be a cheap alternative to a gateway, providing you with one FXO and one FXS for $130 or so. the echo cancellation in the sipura works well for fxs, it might work well to for fxo.
