RE: [biz] Redfone related questions
Thanks for the input guys. Dave, - So, the Positron product uses a differnet technology than TDMoE? - But they sell only a single T1 port and no expandable option??!! - The price is double that of Fonebridge??!!! - Doesn't come in rack format. Can't place it in Co-lo? I would still be very intrested to know how this product works. And I do feel safe that they mention they will give free support on thier site unlike the very poor support statement that RedFone has. thanks, Bruce Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 15:11:29 -0400 From: donovan.da...@gmail.com To: biz@taug.ca Subject: Re: [biz] Redfone related questions On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 9:01 PM, Bruce N het...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi Everyone, For those who have experience with Redfone products, can you please weigh in on these questions.

We run Asterisk in VMware so this type of solution was very attractive. Relevant to your inquiry was a comment made by one poster that TDMOE was facing deprecation in Asterisk. I decided to look into the Positron product and I just got it in yesterday, as it happens. We'll be deploying that within the next few weeks and I'll be happy to update the list on how that goes.

[biz] Redfone related questions
Hi Everyone, For those who have experience with Redfone products, can you please weigh in on these questions. I need to know the in and out of these products for a better decision to be made: 1- How does the 2 x Quad-port fonebridge in 1U rack mount work when one wants to connect each PRI to separate box? Is there a UI portal for the fone bridge that allows the setup? 2- What if one wants to send all the ports to a single server? Does the server have to have 8 NIC ports for this? 3- Is there any specific NIC type requirements for this product? 4- How good of a product is? It's amazing that it's expandable and independent. So, it can be used as a redundancy measure but is it as good as a Sangoma PRI card? 5- If a single Quad-port is added, is adding a second Quad-port like a hot swap install? or does it require full configuration? 6- Do you prefer to have the on-board echo cancel version? 7- I see that their Support is not impressive. At least not from their statment on the site to allow 5 WHOLE DAYS for response time. Have you had small and big problems that you thought could have been taken care of in few minutes and waited few days for it? 8- What is the difference between the fonebridge version 2 and older verison? 9- Are there any local Canadian distributer of the Redfone products? Non listed on their site. 10-*** Is there another quality product that you have came by that does the same job or better? Thanks,Bruce
