Rich has a great interview with Sangoma’s VP Sales and Marketing, Doug Vilim about their new B600 Series of Analog voice cards, which can be used in Asterisk-based systems. Apparently, Sangoma’s über customizable & modular cards can be a slight cost detriment for those that don’t need such modularity.

B600D PCI model.

Here’s a teaser from Rich’s blog:

What is the reason for these new cards to be introduced?

Some of our OEM customers; those who are building IP PBX appliances Empowered by Sangoma, often do not require the modularity, port customization and single slot expandability that our A-Series analog cards provide. Also, four PSTN lines and one fax connection is a common configuration that creates economies of scale, which can lead to a substantial cost savings for these customers when purchasing in larger volumes.
