Our company manufactures an E1 channel bank that is approved for use in Australia (it should also be compatible with Euro standards). It is modular and available in 10, 20 or 30 analog port configurations. Signal monitoring and configuration is via Ethernet. These units are manufactured in low quantities for specific telco requirements. However if there was enough interest, we would be able to manufacture and sell the units at pricing levels under US $2000. So how much interest is out there?

Hello, We would be ineterested to get such a device. Most E1 channel banks are too expensive compared to T1 channel banks (I have no idea why). So, any CB at a cost lower than 2000$ is ceratinly interesting. Best regards, Vlasis.

>It seems a bit strange to me to manufacture devices in 2003 allowing >only connection of analog phones --- unless I did not understand your > channel bank spec.The channel bank can be used to retain existing (Analog) PBX infrastructure in areas where Telcos are dropping analogue trunk support. We already manufacture ISDN BRI & PRI protocol converters and could possibly make a generic BRI module for the channel bank if demand justified it. However we haven't had any real demand for such a module to date.

Mind you it does lead to the idea of splitting an E1 or T1 to BRI. But that can easily be handled by a non channel bank device, in this country "JTec" springs to mind. Actually having an Australian "APPROVED" channel bank is unique and actually exciting. Now if we had an E1 card approved for Australia as well..... I hope this new channel bank is capable of adsi :-)>Sincerely yours, > >> >> These units are manufactured in low quantities for specific telco >> requirements.

I'm not sure it would meet this budget criteria :)>I hope this new channel bank is capable of adsi :-)Never tried it - I can't see why it wouldn't be, after all FSK CLI is OK.
