</div>What is the advantage of doing Woomera rather than a complete SIP<br>
gateway? Is Woomera hardware that much cheaper than e.g. SIP-to-PRI? Is<br>
it easier to configure?<br>

The point is Woomera is not meant to replace SIP or compete with it, is just an easy way to distribute your TDM interfaces and not have them in the same server where you do media processing, IVR, routing etc.</div>
