[asterisk-biz] Digium vs. Sangoma Transcoding card

[Dovid Bender]

Bryant,

The main reason for getting the card is to take a load off of the CPU. The 
less that is on the CPU the more the calls the machine can handle. What more 
can the Sangoma do than the Digium ? Does the Digium just do G729 to G711u/a 
and other basic codecs ?

Regards,

Dovid
