[asterisk-biz] How Realistic is Hosted VoIP for SMBs?

[Nick Stein]

Turgut,

 

I could not see on the website how to buy an edgebox.  Does Dell sell them?

Hi All,

 

EDGEBOX (www.edgebox.net <http://www.edgebox.net/> ) and ITEMS remote
resource management software does it all; place the EDGEBOX at the customer
premises and managed thousands of them with ITEMs software from a ISP
center; please take a look at the documents and case studies here:
http://www.edgebox.net/opencms/opencms/resources.html. Please let me know if
you want more info about it.

 

Turgut

You guys need to look into the Ranch Networks solution.  With a Hosted PBX,
you can put the Asterisk box at you location.  Then we take a Ranch Networks
box and put it at the customers site.  the Ranch Networks box does all the
NAT traversal, qos, firewall, etc. plus it will bring the media locally so
you don't have to go over the internet for simple branch to branch calls.
Plus, the ranch Networks box provides high availability or clustering if you
need that. 

There ya go, one box fixes all.

I must agree with this having seen a 5 phone office with a hosted system
over ADSL.  The system was never reliable and they eventually scrapped
it and came to us.  As we are in the same building, I setup their phones 
on to asterisk with their own contexts, etc. and replaced their simple
switch with a Linksys 224P (poe + layer3 managed).  Inbound calls are
presented on a ISDN BRI (ZapHFC), outbound via VoIP.  The only comment 
has been about the occasional slight echo.
