Product Description 

The A102E is the dual port PCI Express version of Sangoma family of Advanced, Flexible Telecommunications (AFT) hardware designed for optimum support of voice and data over T1, E1 and J1.

Obtainable in both PCI (A102) and PCI Express (A102-X) form factors, The A102 provides up to 8.2Mbps of full duplex data throughput or 60 voice calls over two T1 and or E1 lines to support high performance PCI-based routing and telephony systems. Advanced clocking features allow E1 and T1 lines to be mixed with full synchronization. As part of Sangoma’s AFT range of products, the A102 makes use of the same high performance PCI interface that has been deployed in large quantities all over the world.

The available A102d and A102d-X cards include Octasic's DSP hardware and certified algorithms providing carrier-grade echo cancellation and Voice Quality Enhancement (VQE) functions. Like all the Sangoma AFT family, the A102 is field upgradeable to take advantage of hardware and software improvements as they become available.

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.
