[Asterisk-Users] Help, Ideas and Ready for use Solutions
Hi, I would like to ask you for advice how to solve the following case: I have a client (who happened to be my friend) and I have convinced him that the IP PBX solution is much better than the conventional telephone centrals (PBX). At the beginning he wanted to buy PBX Panasonic, but at this moment he is waiting for my decision. Because at the moment we are not so deeply familiar with these technologies to be able to offer him all at once, we need your help. My client wants to have 100 internal telephones, and between 10 (existing analog lines to PSTN) and 30 (E1/PRI ISDN) external telephones. Is there any ready solution for this case we could use and how much it will cost? Thank you in advance. Best Regards, Miroslav Nachev COSMOS Software Enterprises, Ltd.

If there is already an existing phone system in place, you could easily migrate to an asterisk based solution if your internal phones are analog. The big question for you is not number of phone lines, but peak utilization. Here's what I have. 141 Analog Phone Lines 15 SIP IP Phones (Mix Cisco 7960 and Polycom IP500) T-1 E&M For Long Distance PRI For Local Calls with 200 DID Numbers. Max concurrent calls 15-20 (30-40 active channels) I serve all of this from a machine with the following config Dual Xeon 2.4 Ghz 2 Gig Memory 3x36 Gig SCSI Drives in Hardware Raid 5 Configuration. 2xT400P 6xAdtran TA750 Channel Banks with 6xQuadFXS cards in Loopstart Config. This is more than enough for my call volume. The CPU utilization is minimal. As you need more functionality at each phone location, you could switch to IP phones as needed. If you are starting from scratch, you will have a higher startup cost in equipment. -sb -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com]On Behalf Of Miroslav Nachev Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 9:26 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Help, Ideas and Ready for use Solutions Hi, I would like to ask you for advice how to solve the following case: I have a client (who happened to be my friend) and I have convinced him that the IP PBX solution is much better than the conventional telephone centrals (PBX).

There are commercial providers online that build ready-to-go asterisk servers and hardware: http://voipstore.atacomm.com/shops/Browse.aspx/27934028032-27934066432.htm They should be able to build a turnkey solution for you. There are also consultants on this board that will probably assist you in getting a system up and running.
