| VOIP Channels That Present As PRI?
Hello,
My telephone system supports analog trunks and a PRI. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with a device that will aggregate VOIP channels and present them to the phone system as a standard PRI circuit?
I think it might be done with a Cisco box, but don't know that as a fact.
What I'd like to do is keep a few standard analog trunks and move the bulk of my voice traffic to PRI, with the PRI really being an aggregated set of VOIP trunks/channels.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

| You would need some type of a mux. A Cisco box is nothing more than a router with multiple configurable inputs and outputs. I suppose it would be possible to get a Cisco box with a PRI card and a Voip card, but you're talking a very expensive solution (upwards of $5,000). I know those PRI cards are in the $700 range by themselves.
I would suggest a cheaper solution would be to add either a Voip card to your phone system, or if your system is too old, add an analog phone line card to your system and use VOIP DTA's plugged into it.

Depending on how many trunks you need, consider looking at possibly an Asterisk box with a T1 card or a gateway. I use a machine with a Dialogic 2-T1 JCT card and Paraxip software as a gateway between an IP platform and the PSTN.
