I like! 
I'm assuming thats 16 FXO and 8 T1's pictured?
Did you run each switch back to your core? |

Toms River, NJ | each switch is connected to core in main building. As for the ports, I believe you are correct on the count. This is also the Dmark for the campus voip system. There are several other gateways across campus for other analog phones. |

Are you using CUCM, or you just using their equipment for something like Asterisk?
Nice setup, hopefully when you cable it up, it stays just as clean  |

Curious what are the model of those? |

I thought they were 2431-16FXS at first but they are missing the WIC slot so they are probably 224s. We used to deploy the 2431 as a CPE at a customer site. We replaced them with Adtran TA900s because they are cheaper, have free support, free AOS updates, easier to troubleshoot, and they are more flexable. |

That frame looks like it might be in decent shape and not all messy.
What's up with the weatherproof cabinet inside the building? |

If I had to guess... air conditioning. I've seen that done a number of places. (mostly in closets.) |

kudos:1 | yeah ok but that doesn't really solve the problem. once you hvac a box like that in another space, you still need to be able to deal with the heat removed from the interior of said box.

Why all this for an obsolete technology? Why not just do VOIP directly and get rid of the phone wiring altogether? |

So it was cheaper to put that cabinet in than fix the roof. Ok that makes sense.
That roof must have been expensive to fix because a properly done up box like that is 7 to 10 grand easily. Of course they probably cheaped out on that too so that's why it might likely be the reason it is there.
