</div>I think the Sangoma A108 would do the trick to get max E1s down to a<br>

dual quad core xeon, easily handle 16 e1 of ss7 without transcoding, and 8 E1 with transcoding.<br><br>You can also get Dell Poweredge 1950, they have a deal for a free second processor, roughly $1500 or so for a dual quad-core.<br>
2 x8 PCI Express - x8 lane with x8 connector or PCI X Riser with 2 x 64-bit/133MHz slots<span class="para">2 expansion slots </span><br> <br>so, your 96E1 would fit into 6U for the signaling media gateways, and add another 2x 1U boxes for a db clustered prepaid app<br>
<br>not bad, 8U for the entire spec<br><br></div></div>-- <br>wasim h. baig | principal consultant | convergence pk | +92 300 8508070
