Redfone foneBRIDGE T1/PRI-to-Ethernet Bridge
Please note the foneBRIDGE has been discontinued. For an alternative please see the foneBRIDGE2 Quad T1/E1
foneBRIDGE is a quad T1/PRI-to-Ethernet Bridge. It is an integrated black-box "appliance" designed to streamline installation and enable redundant design of Asterisk based VoIP systems. Designing, building, and installing an Asterisk system has never been this easy!
foneBRIDGE eliminates the need to install proprietary TDM (PRI/T1) hardware cards in approved/compatible server configurations. Instead, foneBRIDGE terminates T1 and/or PRI lines on the trunk side and provides direct Ethernet communication to a network of Asterisk servers using native Asterisk TDMoE formats and utilities.
foneBRIDGE provides an economical means of buliding and maintaining a redundant Asterisk solution. Instead of purchasing a TDM board for each redundant server, multiple redundant servers can share a single foneBRIDGE. If the foneBRIDGE itself fails, replacing it is far simpler that replacing a TDM card in an active server.
Promotes Hardware Independance
Install Asterisk on commodity (white box) servers. Reduce CPU and resource load.
Reduces Wiring
Install foneBRIDGE(s) at trunk termination and supply a single Ethernet connection to server location(s). Uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) - no AC adapter or brick required.
Enables Cost-Effective Redundant Solutions
Share trunk resources among multiple redundant servers. Install multiple foneBRIDGEs on a network.
