We have a G3 V4 that is currently running around 375 analog sets and 20 dig sets in a condo environment. One console,no VM, no call acct. About 30 GS trunks all on copper. Pretty simple setup.
Our contract with local DT provider is about up and mgmt. wants to either upgrade sys or look at possibilities of taking out this reliable old girl and replacing with something more up to date.
Just looking for some alternatives at this time. One of the major issues is the use of almost 400 analog sets throughout all the units. If we do go VOIP is that feasible to use an ATA type device on all the analog sets. Only about 20 hybrid and dig. sets plus 302D console. Don't know what the conversion to T-1 trunks would involve. Know the provider costs should go way down.
Personally I'd hate to see this old girl go. Maybe a crash kit to give them some piece of mind? (one cab. 4 carriers) Any and all input appreciated.
