They are estimating the max cable run is 1.5-2Kms which rules out Cisco analog voice gateways. They have ruled out putting fibre or a WAN connection to the locations becasue both are going to be very expensive. Currently they have 6 25-pair cable that runs to each location. I have looked at the FXS-E cards but again this will very expensive for 40 handsets.</p><p class="MsoPlainText">Has anybody out there experience similar situation or a solution that will achieve this?</p><p class="MsoPlainText"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Cheers,<br>Drew.<br><br><br><span style="color:white">itevomcid</span> </p></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>cisco-voip mailing list<br>cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<br>https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip<br></div></body></html>
