Thank everyone for the recommendations. Here are my thoughts on the recommendations sumbitted so far: 1. cisco devices like the IAD243x, VG224,VG248. Most of theses seems EOL, and I have a hard time beleiving that Cisco new is going to be cheaper than Adtran. I am looking for alternatives to Adtran that are cheaper than Adtran. 2. Audiocodes MP series. Audiocodes seems like a good brand. Which model do you recommend? How do they compare pricing wise to Adtran? 3. Cisco SPA 8000. Is this considered a Cisco Small Business voice product? I heard a long time ago Cisco was discontinuing their small business line. Any thoughts on that? I don't want to dive deep into a product that is going to be discontinued. 4. FlyingVoice products, I have never heard of these before, but there are tons of low cost Asian models that come to mind. I am looking for something that is very reliable, and preferably Broadsoft certified. This does fit the price point. 5. Mediatrix boxes: I have heard of these, and like what I see. What models do you recommend? Their website seems to have multiple models that would fit the bill 6. ObiHai 5xxvs series. Seems very interesting, I though this company only made google voice and skype ATAs looks like they have expanded. I like how they has USB and paging ports built in for expansion, and their cloud based system seems to be nice. Ideally, I would probably want features like the Adtran 908e including: - RJ21 Amp connector for use with 66 block. Most of these low cost products have RJ-11 ports for each line. That is doable, but prob not prefered. - Unit needs to be wall mountable - We would hope that the device was certified by Broadsoft, and has a Broadsoft device template for DMS. - Have some kind of voice quality monitoring built in, hopefully with MOS scores. Does Adtran make a FXS gateway without the T1/PRI ports at a lower cost? On Sun, Mar 15, 2015 at 7:10 PM, Ryan Delgrosso <ryandelgrosso at gmail.com> wrote:
Colton, We have pretty much transitioned our customers in this segment over to the ObiHai 5xxvs series.

Secure OOB management and far superior config options made this a no-brainer.

Does anyone use the Grandstream FXS gateways like the GXW4008? It has 8 FXS ports, 1 FXO port, 2 Fast Ethernet Ports, and cost $156 new from distribution.
We are having more clients that need 2 to 8 phone lines. We typically use Adtan 900/900e series gateways, but these gateways new cost 3 to 4 times more than this Grandstream unit. One thing we don't like about the Adtran units is they have built in T1/PRI ports which we rarely use.
I am wondering how good is the Grandstream SIP stack? How good is its debug options? Does it have any voice quality monitoring tools like Adtran has built in? Does it have a web inteface where you can see active calls, registrations, calls logs, etc?
What other options besides Grandstream and Adtran are out there for multi line FXS gateways? I have heard good things about Edgewater. There are about a million no names FXS gateways out there it seems.
