Ken - There's some discussion and info on the C3VoIP-200 here:
http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/WISP-Business/C3VoIP-Gateways-Models/td-p/39723/page/2 There will be a webinar on it on Tuesday, June 9th, also, so you can ask questions live: http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/company/webinars Matt -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Hohhof Sent: Friday, June 05, 2015 12:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cambium discontinuing the traditional wall wart powersupply Model just released has 802.11b/g/n with 2 external antennas, but yes includes VoIP. I don't see a user guide on the Cambium website. I may have to order one and play with it. We currently use Cisco ATAs in bridge mode ahead of the customer router and give them a private IP completely separate from the router. I'm not clear on whether this device will work in a similar manner. Also our managed CPE routers are all Mikrotik and remotely managed via Winbox, I assume this is probably OpenWRT based, we have had nothing but bad experiences with every brand of home routers and I would approach any new device with skepticism. You often don’t know you've deployed a bunch of crap routers for a year or more when they start failing. That said, consolidating the POE, router and ATA functions in one box would simplify the rats nest of wires. And the industry is moving toward ISPs providing a WiFi router, DSL and cable is pretty much all that way. If everything else was good, and the price was right, I guess I wouldn't sweat every customer having a phone jack on their "modem" even if 95% didn't use it. Could save a future truck roll. Assuming remote management. Depends on how much cost it adds. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Sent: Friday, June 05, 2015 11:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cambium discontinuing the traditional wall wart powersupply > Mark, I guess you could look at the C3VOIP200 since it includes > Canopy/ePMP compatible POE on the WAN port.
