Empowered by Sangoma’s NetBorder Express Software, NetBorder Express TDM to SIP Gateway Cards include G.168 Telco-Grade Echo Cancellation with 128 ms echo tails without call capacity reduction to provide optimum operating conditions for applications, such as Speech Recognition IVRs and International Toll Bypass. NetBorder Express cards also feature Sangoma’s award-winning field upgradeable crashproof firmware design.

NetBorder Express communicates with applications such as IP-PBXs, Speech Enabled IVRs, Conferencing Servers, Contact Center or Trunking Gateways directly with the ubiquitous SIP control protocol to reduce deployment time, complexity and cost for next generation network application deployments.

Available for analog FXO and T1/E1 digital interfaces, NetBorder Express Gateway Cards are an excellent value for installations ranging anywhere from 4 to 240 simultaneous calls. For larger systems, several gateway cards can be combined in the same server to support up to 960 simultaneous calls.

A simple ordering process, coupled with Sangoma’s installation and basic configuration support, plus a lifetime hardware warranty make NetBorder Express the perfect gateway building block for even the smallest SMB on a limited budget. A flexible upgrade path to the full NetBorder Software Suite also translates into unparalleled price performance for the largest enterprise or contact center customer.
