Sangoma A500 BRI Card for Open Source Telephony Systems

Sangoma has increased their worldwide product line with the introduction of the A500. The A500 BRI card fully supports the ISDN S/T bus as either an NT or TE device using a reversed module design that avoids jumpers. The A500 was designed to support the European and global open source telephony markets where open source telephony is red hot!

According to David Mandelstam, Sangoma’s CEO, “Our A500 BRI card was developed in response to the continuing world market demand for a quality BRI that works flawlessly when connected to any ISDN switch. The solution uses a well-tested and widely-certified ISDN code set, ensuring full resolution of connection issues that have plagued BRI connectivity on open source telephony systems up until now.”

Sangoma A500 Additional Features

The Sangoma A500 is packed with a variety of unique features that include:

• Expandable from 2 to 24 ports of 2B+D interfaces for a total of 48 ISDN channels
• PCI or PCI Express bus support
• Optional carrier-grade echo cancellation
• Support for all open source telephony projects

In addition, the A500 supports the same digital processing and highly-compatible PCI/PCI Express interfaces as the AFT series. It provides the benefits of hardware-based echo cancellation and voice enhancement for scalability for various installations. The card is expected out this July. No list price has been listed.

Sangoma A500 First Impressions

The A500 is yet another winner for Sangoma. Sangoma is one of the hottest companies in the open source telephony space, and as they continue to release more products like the A500, I do not see that changing anytime soon. The biggest problem I see with the A500 is going to be getting your hands on one…these are going to be flying off of the shelves!
