<p class="MsoNormal">Looking for suggestions for NEBS compliant gear that can support SS7, handle OC-3 or higher levels of channels, and can support (in aggregate) up to around 500 cps through a *<b>good</b>* (key word) SIP interface.  I’m willing to entertain
 the idea of a single larger device that can take a full OC-48 and support the full 500 cps, but I’d prefer spread the load across multiple devices and smaller interfaces for load balancing and redundancy.<o:p></o:p></p>
