Marking more than 20 years supporting data transport applications in military, aerospace, medical and other mission-critical applications, Sangoma Technologies Corporation, a provider of connectivity hardware and software products for VoIP, TDM voice, WANs and Internet infrastructure, has announced that the A102d, a dual port E1/T1/PRI card with carrier-grade echo cancellation, is now shipping.

The A102d includes the same digital processing and PCI/PCI Express technology as the highly successful four-port A104d card and is intended to provide the benefits of hardware-based echo cancellation and voice enhancement for smaller, two-port T1/E1 installations. The A102d also supports DMF encoding/decoding and tone recognition, voice quality enhancement and adaptive noise reduction.

“The A102d was developed in response to the continuing demand for a small capacity, low-cost E1/T1 card with telco-grade echo cancellation,” said Sangoma (News - Alert) Technologies president and CEO David Mandelstam in a statement. “As an integral part of Sangoma's AFT design family, the A102d inherits the compatibility, enhanced performance and reliability of its siblings.”

The A102d supports PBX, IVR and VoIP applications, such as Asterisk (News - Alert),Yate, FreeSwitch and many proprietary telephony projects.

Less than a month ago, Asterisk and Open Source Telephony companies, Wildix, Signate and Core Telecom Innovations opted to standardize on Sangoma PCI and PCI-Express hardware to support their requirements for PSTN access.

 

Wildix is the largest distributor of VoIP products in Italy, as well as the manufacturer of a range of Asterisk-based PBX (News - Alert) systems. Signate is a provider of large scale and highly-available VoIP systems for enterprises and providers based on open source technologies.
