[Freeswitch-users] Which GSM gateway to buy?

[Remko Kloosterman]

I have used board-based voice solutions for ISDN/SS7 over the last 10 years and just moved to gateways and VoIP 2 years ago. I must say I've never been more happy. It scales excellent and is very stable, never had any problem and it's handling about 30.000 calls per day. In the past I've had a fair share of board issues, some crashes, scaling headache. Not totaly bad, but the gateway approach is much nicer. Check out audiocodes, I believe their mediant series supports GSM as well.

Guys, I was looking at the advantages and disadvantages of having a GSM gateway vs. a GSM board.

The conclusions I get are:

Board pros

1. Boards are able to get/send SMS without SIP "tricks"
2. You don't have to make a SIP call to check if channel is available and don't rely o SIP messages to get channel status
3. FS will be able to check for signal level on the board and fire events on pre-defined thresholds.
 
Gateway pros

1. I think of is the a GW can be used by more then one server, therefore, can have failover.
2. A GW is more scalable

It would be nice if you, that have already used GSM GWs in production, could comment on this.

Thanks,

jmesquita
