Cisco SPA8000 review
The Linksys SPA8000 8-Port IP Telephony Gateway is a full featured Analog
Terminal Adapter (ATA) for small business enterprises providing enhanced
communication services via a broadband connection to the Internet. The
SPA8000 features eight RJ-11 FXS ports to connect analog telephones to
IP-based data networks and includes a single multi-port RJ-21 50-pin
connector offering an alternative connection choice when deploying the
telephony gateway in varied environments. The device also has one
10/100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet interface to connect to either a router or
multi-layer switch. Solid in design, the SPA8000 is an affordable solution
that is ideally suited for use in business and consumer VoIP service
offerings including call centers and multi-dwelling environments. Customers
can also protect and extend their investments by continuing to utilize
their existing analog telephones and teleconferencing equipment. Installed
by the end user and remotely provisioned, configured and maintained by the
service provider, each SPA8000 converts voice traffic into data packets for
transmission over an IP network and uses common standards for voice and
data networking for reliable voice and fax operation.
