[Freeswitch-users] MInimal Hardware requirements - G729

[Kristian Kielhofner]

You're going to pay $1000 for G729 software licenses.

Sangoma cards include the license in the cost of the card and the
transcoding frees up CPU resources for other things.  I'm not sure of
the pricing but you can probably get a 100 channel Sangoma card for
less than you're going to pay in software licenses.

When you start getting in the > 100 channel range you should really,
really be using a Sangoma card.  There's very little reason not to.
