[AusNOG] VOIP PBX Analog card advice

[paul+ausnog at oxygennetworks.com.au]

Hi Matt, thanks for the reply, there is no reasonable infrastructure at this location other than DSL and the customer is already on an amazing call deal from their current provider so there are good reasons for not moving them to a VOIP trunk unfortunately.
 
Regards
Paul

Given that most providers can port existing numbers to SIP trunks. I would question the wisdom of using Analog Line cards for anything. PSTN has the tendency to suffer echo due to impedance mismatching and once you add the delay of voip it can be quite noticeable even with top shelf hardware echo cancellation.   It's 2016 why not use a SIP trunk.

Afternoon all, normally we provide SIP only PBX services for customers however we have been asked to provide a SIP PBX with Analogue PSTN lines for inbound and outbound calls.
 
We normally provide Elastix as a simple cost effective PBX for small customers and in general it works well for what they need.
I am looking for some wisdom from people who have installed a decent 4 line card for use with Elastix before quoting the customer as we had experience some time ago with timing issues when using analogue cards with VOIP handsets.
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Thanks
Paul
