Sangoma NetBorder Express VoIP Gateway
Last month, Sangoma launched the the NetBorder Express VoIP Gateway product line. NetBorder Express is a SIP to TDM Gateway on a card. It is a full-fledged VoIP Gateway to connect Legacy Networks to SIP and VoIP Networks.
NetBorder Express is a “ready to go” solution—much like an external gateway, but it also provides the flexibility of building your own gateway. It offers easy integration into your own application for installation, configuration and management, plus it can be installed in the same computer server.
Empowered by Sangoma’s NetBorder Express Software, NetBorder Express TDM to SIP Gateway Cards include G.168 Telco-Grade Echo Cancellation with 128 ms echo tails without call capacity reduction to provide optimum operating conditions for applications, such as Speech Recognition IVRs and International Toll Bypass. NetBorder Express cards also feature Sangoma’s award-winning field upgradeable crashproof firmware design.
NetBorder Express communicates with applications such as IP-PBXs, Speech Enabled IVRs, Conferencing Servers, Contact Center or Trunking Gateways directly with the ubiquitous SIP control protocol to reduce deployment time, complexity and cost for next generation network application deployments.
Available in one to eight ports of T1/E1, NetBorder Express Gateway Cards are an excellent value for installations ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 simultaneous calls. For larger systems, several gateway cards can be combined in the same server to support up to 960 simultaneous calls. (Analog and ISDN BRI Gateway cards are coming soon.)
Platforms
For now, this solution is for Windows only. Compatibility testing is currently being finalized with a number of industry-leading Windows-based IP PBX application developers. Watch for the news as it is released for compatibility.
A port to Linux is also being worked on so that it will also be Asterisk and other linux application compatible for those of you who are most comfortable in that market, but an ETA for this project has not been finalized.
