[Asterisk-Users] Digium Hardware Reliability

[Cory Andrews]

I'm working on quantifying an overall defect rate for both Digium and
Sangoma products, based upon overall number of units deployed over a 12
month period versus overall number of units RMA replaced.  I believe both
products to have very low DOA rates, well below acceptable industry
standards for electronic components, but the data will tell the story.  More
to come shortly.

Andrew,

you seem to be assuming a lot. These were spread out across different parts
of the country (US), on projects I was involved with but deployed by more
than compentent telco and engineering colleagues of mine. And ... in the
majority of the cases, they were DOA (not a transient issue, noisy line or
not). The warranty is there and Digium or their resellers make good - but
the delays in the project and the lossed time are still real. Once working,
they do seem to continue working fine.

So ... don't try to read too much into it. That is why I am very interested
in seeing what others are finding.

Then put proper telco line protection in place! Good lord, it's blindingly 
obvious to me that you seem to be in a particularly harsh environment and 
that the protection on the FXO modules was not designed for the type of 
transient disturbances you're experiencing.
