2N's attention has been recently focused on development of GSM IP Gateways. Nowadays, 2N can offer SIP based GSM IP gateway (2N VoiceBlue Lite) and H.323 or/and SIP based one (2N VoiceBlue Enterprise).
In the article below, you can find the major advantages why to use 4 channel 2N VoiceBlue Lite GSM gateway then 4 analog Fixed Wireless Terminals.
Reliability:
A single 2N VoiceBlue Lite with 4 GSM channels can replace 4 analog GSM gateways. If using ATA's for the interface from an IP PBX to the analog GSM gateway, it can be replacing up to 8 pieces of hardware. In general, the more equipment you use, the less stable and reliable the system is.
Support:
A simpler set-up with less disparate components means fewer devices to support and easier troubleshooting which has as an effect less support effort and greater uptime as well as quicker installations.
Clip Transfer:
The 2N VoiceBlue Lite GSM VoIP gateway, can transfer the incoming CLIP to the IP phone for calls from GSM to IP PBX. This is very difficult or impossible with an analog solution.
Quality:
Carefully selected components and long time experience have as a result high voice quality and smooth functionality of the device.
Least Cost Routing:
The 2N VoiceBlue Lite GSM IP gateway is more flexible and robust as Least Cost Routing (LCR) functions can be programmed on it. Other benefits include SIM load sharing and the ability to route calls to another SIM in case of a GSM or SIM module become faulty.
Routing:
When using analog GSM gateways, you may face problems with call routings in the case of defected GSM module or network problems.
Signalling about Call Termination:
There can occur problems with call course and termination signalling. The line may remain off-hook and the next call may not be connected successfully.
Flexibility:
As full SIP signalling is supported, the product becomes much more flexible and has the possibility of integration with applications written for IP PBX's such as Asterisk, etc.
