Analog and Digital on a Single Board with the Sangoma B601

Sangoma B601

Someone at the always innovative, Marham, Ontario based voice card manufacturer Sangoma came up with a great idea. Why don’t we manufacture an Asterisk-compatible voice interface board with both Digital AND Analog interfaces onboard, in a single card? Voila!….the Sangoma B601 tops the competition in terms of versatility.

The Sangoma B601 crams a ton of functionality into a single PCI (B601D) or PCIe (B601DE) board, while not occupying much real estate inside your Asterisk PBX appliance or server. Need to integrate your fax machine or an analog phone? The Sangoma B601D has you covered with a single onboard FXS port. Need support for a handful of analog POTS line? The Sangoma B601 features four built-in FXO ports. Care to integrate a T1? The B601 boasts a single T1/E1/J1 compatible interface port. Worried about echo? The Sangoma B601 squashes pesky echo with integrated G.168-2002 echo cancellation hardware, providing 1024 taps/128 ms tail per channel on all channel densities. As with all Sangoma PCI cards, there is no guessing about PCI bus voltage, the Sangoma B601 is fully compatible with both 5V and 3.3V PCI busses….now they’re just showing off!

For smaller offices currently serviced by several analog POTS lines, the Sangoma B601 is worth considering if you anticipate that one day you might outgrow your current POTS setup and need to move to a dedicated T1 as your headcount expands along with your business. With the B601 simply plug your T1 right in and unplug the POTS lines, or keep one or two for redundancy and failover. The Sangoma B601 also comes with Sangoma’s 5-Year Warranty.
