I am totally new at this and want to set up a VOIP link. Connecting an analogue line from an existing PABX over a WLAN link and "dropping" an analogue port on the other end.

I need to now what products would be suitable for this.

We need a solution that would not require broadband internet connectivity.
 
Hi

You can try a Quintum VoIP gateway; what kind of connectivity do you have to the remote end?
 
The only connectivity is a GPRS connection on the one end but we would prefer a solution which is independant of internet connectivity, is this possible?:D
 
The Grandstream FXO/FXS gateways (eg. GXW4104) will work device to device over ethernet (just need wifi-lan-bridges), but they're not great. Software is buggy.

How far is the distance? You may be able to use a DECT analogue extension. DECT is much more solid than WLAN and penetrates walls a lot better. The RTX wireless phone jack is available locally:

We would also like an ethernet link for pc\camera etc. Two birds with one stone. And copper is also out.(Too far, theft):D
 
How many lines and what distance?

A DECT repeater kit costs about R600.

A single-port LinkSys VoIP FXO ATA plus a single port VoIP FXS gateway will cost around R1,500.

A four-port Grandstream FXO gateway and four-port FXS gateway will cost around R5,000.

To be frank neither the LinkSys nor the Grandstream are great products for what you want. A Quintum (much better) 2-port FXO and FXS gateway pair will cost around R6,000.

So if distance permits, it may make sense to throw two stones at one bird.
 
You could try a WiFi Link; depending on the distance. If you get a good radio link then you will be able to do voice and data. We can provide the whole solution depending on your location.

Wifi equipment is not the problem.What VOIP equipment do you sugest? It needs to be simple to configure.:D
 
We only do Quintum but it`s kinda expensive...easy to configure you could maybe try a grandstream or something similar.

What are the sizes the Quintum is available in? The thing is, we only need a single analogue voice port. Two would be nice but a luxury. Where can I get more info?:D
 
I believe a wireless link will be more efficient and most suitable for this application.

True. And thanx for the offer hisite, I might take you up on that.

The SOHO system you're refferring to, how much $$ roundabout?

And how easy is it to config? And would remote config be possible?:D
 
By default the Quintum units aren`t remotely configurable if not on a public IP; but with the use of a Remote Management Server this is possible; I do have a Tenor Remote Management Session Server to assist you with remote configuration.
