BCM Max number of Analog Stations

[DaveThePhoneDoctorLV]

What would be the maximum number of analog stations any BCM platform coudl support?

I was thinking about using this for a small motel with 500 series single line telesets. Our is there a hospitality style digital Nortel that could be used in a motel setting?

What would you suggest?

How many sets are you wanting? depends on solution.

Looks like about 80 analog sets with MWi on them if BCM will support MWI light.

About 16 POTS lines local calling only there will be no rebilling. They will be restricted to local and toll free dialing.

When the BCM450 was released, the maximum number of analog sets was 48.
(I don't know whether this is still the limit now.)

I would recommend using T7000 sets over analog phones, considering that they're very cheap and have a feature button and message light.

You could use ATA's off of digital ports just wont get MWI and a lot of ata's.(equipment)

Probably better using a MICS, but a FEM attached to analog station modules should work (max 16 x 6 fiber ports). I'm not aware of an analog station limit.

Sounds ike Nortel is not a good choice for hospitality.

What do you guys like using for small economy motel installs?

You could use the BCM 450 just use M7100 phones(digital) and you get MWI and a cheep $ phone and a good system.
