Which GSM gateway to buy?
Hi everyone, Can you please recommend me some GSM gateway? I'm currently looking for a good one to buy... anyone have experience PORTech GSM gateways? Are they good? I also need it to work with FS, I'm also kinda new with VoIP hardware. Thanks, Diego
Hi, look at www.kuhnt.com. It´s a german page. There you can find "Kontakt" where you can ask for special requirements. NOx Diego Viola wrote:

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.

There are gateways that allow you to set your own caller ID? I thought it'd always use the number of the SIM. Jan On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 12:28 AM, jay binks <jaybinks@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I think I will go with PORTech for now. @João Mesquita: Let me know when mod_khomp is done, I might consider getting some khomps in the future when the module is ready. Regards, Diego On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 4:26 AM, Jan Kubr<jan.kubr@gmail.com> wrote:

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.
