be switching over from C&W (now Vodafone) and wish to win their business). Also we are talking 1000+ concurrent calls which is more of an incentive (since my client is a premium rate service provider in the UK with TV based traffic).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and had a brief read, I noticed that they used a pair of SBC’s in front of a pair of FreeSWITCH servers. I am hoping that I will not need to use a separate SBC and just use the pair of FreeSWITCH servers, since FreeSWITCH seems to do most of what an SBC does
(if not more). Do you have an opinion on whether an SBC is necessary when connecting to a carrier’s SIP trunk(s)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Re - British Telecom (BT) SIP test list before allowing a server on their IP Telephony network.<br>
<br>
I wondered if someone can take a quick look at this test case spreadsheet from BT in the UK to see if a standard FreeSWITCH installation (current production release) will cover off all these test cases. I assume the answer is yes! However I thought that I
would ask in advance.<br>
<br>
