Sangoma introduces GSM board

Sangoma Technologies Corporation, a provider of hardware and software components that enable or enhance IP Communications Systems for voice and data, released its W400 GSM Board.

The latest addition to Sangoma’s award-winning family of gateway solutions, the W400 provides mobile network VoIP and SMS gateway connectivity for Asterisk-based IP-PBX systems, and Sangoma will be expanding support for other open source and proprietary IP-PBX platforms in the coming months.

Employing Sangoma’s GSM technology, the W400 GSM Board supports Quad-Band EGSM frequencies for worldwide compatibility with wireless carrier networks. The W400 is a PCI Express (PCIe) compliant board that works with Asterisk DAHDI drivers and has integrated Asterisk Manager Interface support to facilitate integration in open source IP-PBX solutions.

The modular design of the board provides from one to four GSM ports. Each GSM port operates as an independent mobile interface that supports voice and SMS access to and from any PBX extension or device within the IP-PBX network.

The unique design of the W400 board provides front access to the wireless SIMs enabling maintenance personnel to change SIM cards without the need to open the server, or impact any of the remaining GSM modules on the board, ensuring maximum uptime and flexibility in mobile service access.

Sangoma provides an industry-leading solution portfolio that enables the interworking of a wide variety of disparate TDM and IP networks, clouds, protocols, services, devices, and applications.

Its portfolio includes award-winning voice and data boards, transcoding and gateway software, and standalone gateway appliances, designed for simple integration with open source and closed source IP PBX applications.
