[Freeswitch-users] ATA that supports TLS/SRTP w FS

The ATAs I'm aware that claim support for TLS and SRTP w/ SDES are the
Grandstream and Mediatrix devices (although I've never tried either
one with FreeSWITCH).

I've personally never had any good experience with the Grandstream
ATAs. The Mediatrix ATAs are OK devices, but I've never personally
tested them with SRTP w/SDES and FreeSWITCH, but supposedly they
support it (so says their marketing material and docs).

I'd see if Cisco has any plans to add support for it to the ATAs. Next
time I see our Cisco SE, I'll try to poke him about it.
