Recommendation for FXS Gateways

FreePBX Endpoints

Hey there,

I want to replace an old isdn pbx with freepbx.

As I have about 40 analog extensions, with existing infrastructure (analog phones and existing cable network) I am searching for appropriate solutions like FXS gateways or analog card. If possible I would like to buy used ones as my budget is limited. Furthermore It would be nice if it has RJ21 (telco 50 pin connector) connectors.

I looked around and found a Cisco VG248 but further research resulted that it only supports sccp and on the forum I have read more mixed feedback than good ones about that.

Can you recommend any gateways or suggest any companies?

Thanks anico

We are using the Grandstream GXW4200 Series and had no issues with it yet. In your case the 48 Port unit GXW4248 would fit.

We are using Sangoma Vega appliances with no problems.

I’m using an Adtran TotalAccess 924e gateway. They are known for being very reliable. Has worked great for me for several years.

Unfortunately, he’s only got one.

Second this. Used Adtran for many years. Rock solid from both a hardware and support perspective.

We are using the Sangoma VEGA appliances for this.

Late to the party, but those grandstreams are amazing and perfect for most situations, REN of 3 up to 2200 metres (actual - better than specs using .60mm2 copper), easy configuring, less than third the cost of sangoma’s vega’s, we use them everywhere, hotels motels, retirement, holiday parks, secure aged care facilities, everywhere except a couple mediumish sized mining sites and a large area retirement village (on an island over 5km’s end to end) where we use dinstar 312 port units (4 of them versus 26 by 48p) and they are reliable, cheap and offer per line MLT, but they are Chinese and we know how paranoid America is there…

and very expensive for only 24 ports.

Thank you very much for your answers. I decided to go with a GXW4248. As it was locally available and within my estimated budget
