Connecting 2 offices with MICS/Extenders

[Tigerrco]

I would like to get some advice regarding connecting a second office that needs 3 Phone Lines & 8 Norstar phones.
Main office(1/2 Mile away) has MICS with Analog Trunks and available ports on Station Module. A T-1 is installed, though it connects to Norstar as POTS lines.

Is the best solution to put in DK Extenders? If so, what do I need to get a quote for? Goal is to be able to intercom between offices & transfer calls between 2 offices.

i think those extenders are fiber extenders...do you have fiber runs to new office..mck makes a 8 port and a 12 port digital extender for use over a t1 ...they work real well

somewhat in order of expense
quickest/cheepest is ata's over copper(assuming you own cable to them)
at 1/2 mile you are at the end of the length a digital station will reach with a SAPS powering it. although I would try it anyway because it just may work (again assuming that you own cable to them)
MCK Fiber extenders and a station module at the remote office.
MCK Remote office(several flavors including dial line, lan, wan, and t-1)

Nortel gateway is a very viable solution, with a cics at the remote office.
