<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">We can resell the Sangoma card. They have some higher license counts as well.<br />
They are also offering a step up offering. If you buy at one level and need to move to the next.<br />
They will offer you a trade back on the old card.<br />

Sangoma also has a transcoding card:<br />
