Product Description 

The A102 is Sangoma's next generation hardware designed for optimum support of data and voice over T1 and E1.

Voice modes

• The A102 drivers fully support TDM voice gateways for the Asterisk, Yate, OPAL PBX/IVR projects, as well as other Open Source and proprietary PBX/Switch/IVR/VoIP gateway applications.
• Supports Robbed Bit Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) and ISDN PRI.
• Optimized per channel DMA streams and hardware-level HDLC handling unload the host CPU.
• EDAC (patent pending) technology is integrated to drastically reduce the load due to software echo cancellation, which is the largest component of CPU load in a typical soft PBX system.
• Field upgradeable hardware allows for new TDM-related functions to be added as they become available.

Mixed Voice/Data mode

• Combination of router/PBX functions in one server - Asterisk as an option. 
• Both 8 bit (64kbps per channel) and 7 bit (56kbps per channel) board-level HDLC support. 
• WAN data connection is supported by Sangoma’s standard WANPIPE routing stack providing certified Frame Relay, PPP and HDLC.
