VoIP Analog Terninal Adapter?

[tyslep]

I have a customer who is moving to the BCM platform. They want to reuse several of their Polycom Conference phones (analog) The distance of the Conference phones is beyond the cable limits of a digital station. Is there a VoIP ATA for the BCM?

No VoIP ATA for the BCM. The closest you can get is the Algo USB Analog Terminal Adapter (

plugged into the USB port of an 1140E or plugged into a PC running the 2050 IP Softphone.

Analog ports on an ATA can be extended pretty far. What's the distance you are trying to cross?

The distance varies from 1 mile to 1.5 miles.

There are some pretty cheap gateways that will do what you want. You'll need one FXO port and one FXS port for each Polycom that exceeds the distance limit. Make sure that whatevere you buy supports back-to-back user agent survivable mode (B2BUAS). If you plan to run it over the data network and want it on a separate VLAN, make sure it supports VLAN taggaing as well. Mediant makes one of these, as does Audio Codes, and maybe Algo as well.
