Alex,
The AS5350 and AS5400 will support up to 24 E1s for ISDN aggregation
(or leased line aggregation). The following bundles will be available in
early May for both the 5350 and 5400 (basically these 8E1 card bundles
without any DSP DFCs):
AS535-8E1-240ISDN
AS535-16E1-480ISDN
AS535-24E1-720ISDN
AS54-8E1-240ISDN
AS54-16E1-480ISDN
AS54-24E1-720ISDN
Also, on the 5400, we will have an ISDN bundle with DSP and trunk cards:
AS54-488NP-288ISDN (4 NP108 & 3 8-E1 DFCs).
The 5400/5350 platforms have similar performance as 7206VXR with a 250MHz
processor.
(7206VXR also has options for NPE300 and NPE400).
The 5400/5350 has richer RADIUS attributes, support for RPM and RPMS, and
interoperable with SS7 Networks. 5400/5350 has Universal DSP for voice,
data, fax termination. 7206VXR
supports only voice and ISDN termination. 5350 is 1 RU, 5400 is 2 RU,
7206VXR is
2 RU (??). 5350 has single PS, 5400 and 7206VXR have dual redundant power
supplies. Both are stellar products..
In order to determine the best solution (and capacity) for your company,
you need to figure
out the following: is RU a concern, what are the line rate requirements,
how many simultaneous ISDN calls do you expect, is ss7 a future
requirement, is the ability to resource pool a
requirement, what is the split between leased line and ISDN traffic, is RADIUS
a requirement, will you add dialup or voice traffic in future, etc
thanks
Nikki
