teleworker solution scalability

[jimcoo]

We are planning to implement the teleworker solution with one 3300 controller and using 5330e and 5340e phones. We are thinking of installing at least 60 teleworker phones with the largest single site having 21 phones. Will this work, or is it too many phones? Is the only limit the bandwidth at the sites, or are there any other limits?

Thanks
Jim

This will work fine. Not too many phones. If you search online for Mitel Boarder Gateway Engineering Guide you will find a link to Mitel edocs and you can review this to answer your questions about bandwidth and limits. We have many customers with this deployment, the largest having over 200 Teleworker phones currently.

load as enterprise server

make sure there is adequate bandith at main site and remote
other than that should be good to go

We dont have have had sites with that number of phones as telworkers no probs

If I never did anything I'd never done before , I'd never do anything.....

Bandwidth is usually the limiting factor. Mitel and others offer complete hosted services where the MiVoice and apps are installed in the cloud and the phones are all basically teleworkers. To my knowledge these deployments work fine so as long as you have the bandwidth you should be able to run 60 teleworkers with no issue.

You can't duct tape stupid.

For what it's worth...MBG limits are based on concurrent streams/call/taps.

Each type of call, compressed vs non-compressed for instance will add different load on the system.
MBG is more CPU intensive (referring to actual resources) and of course as everyone has pointed out - bandwidth.

If you have a site with 21 phones, why not configure a vpn? Saves costs on mbg licenses.
