I can only speak for the AudioCodes Mediant1000 hardware. I have had very positive experience with that platform. On Thursday, January 22, 2015, Ryan Finnesey <ryan at finnesey.com> wrote:

We've used a *ton* of their hardware over decade or so and in general their hardware is reliable. I've not seen many failures in hardware at all. Most of their platforms run a locked down CentOS base (that you can't get into) and are relatively stable. My biggest issue is that some configuration changes require an entire restart of the systems though they say they're fixing that for future releases. In general their support is good, though if you require high end support it comes out of Israel which means it will be at very odd hours for North American users.

I've had experience with M2K, M1K and below on their product line. We've mostly used Audiocodes for SIP-FXS, SIP-FXO, SIP-ISDN-T1, SIP-CAS-T1, and Enterprise Survivability Gateway. It all seems to work. On the SIP-TDM gateway products, the knobs and dials you have available for adjusting signaling are always what we need. For example: if you need to override lots of settings in the Q.931 signaling, the Audiocodes will let you do that. And it seems to have more options than Cisco or Adtran. We've configured similar functions on lots of other gear; in the same price range, there's a lot of Cisco and Adtran among our customer base. If you want a SIP-TDM gateway (and don't need SS7 ISUP) then odds are good Audiocodes will do what you need well. We tend to have more Audiocodes M1K and M2K in the carrier core or special applications, with more Cisco and Adtran at customer premise. But sometimes that's regrettable: there are times it's very hard to get a Cisco or Adtran to do the signaling you need to accommodate some customer's legacy switch or PBX. In addition, Audiocodes does make a very-robust FXS T.38 gateway as well in the MediaPack product line. (I haven't worked with AudioCodes' support organization in 4+ years, but you asked about the hardware. Their support might be great.) We don't sell, resell, or consult for AudioCodes. --- mailto:mark at ecg.co tel:+1-229-316-0013 http://ecg.co/lindsey
