We have Acme 4250s and 4500s presently. If we were to go out NOW, we would take a good hard look at the Sonus Network Border Switch (NBS). We looked at them early on during our build out and found them less appealing than the Acmes. Since that time, the appear to have improved significantly in terms of capabilities at least on paper. We have not actually tested them yet however in our staging environment. -----Original Message----- From: voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of J. Oquendo Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 11:42 AM To: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: [VoiceOps] Offtopic (SBC recommendations) Hey all, (I'm sure for those who I criss-cross lists with - you've seen it before)... We're definitely looking to replace our outgoing Nutrakes (pre-audiocodes assimilation) and we've been looking at a few. While I will say I'm impressed with Acme and Covergence (which is now Acme anyway), anyone care to either off or on list comment about others you've had success with. Any particular one with perhaps a pre-paid system/spinoff/module/compartment/* (don't ask) is a plus. Keep in mind, the less interops (big 4, VZ, GLBX, L3, AT&T) we can do, the better! (hooray for less work on the plates). So far, as stated, I personally liked Covergence's offering as have I Acme, haven't looked at Sonus yet, but was wondering what else are we (myself and colleagues) missing. Newport Networks is pretty much gone the puppets.com, socks.com, VirtualAvenue, Xoom route of the dinosaur. So without further a rambling...
