Hi

I need a small PBX for use on the move. This means that outbound calls
will need to be made over the cell phone network.

Assuming a small hardware PBX with a spare mini-PCI slot or a USB slot
then what hardware options do I have to get an outbound cellular
channel? Options need to be rock solid, so no bluetooth to a cell phone
kind of solutions need apply.

Can any of the 3G usb devices out there offer outbound analogue calls
(ie other than via voip)?

Cheers

Ed W

Well I think you need a GSM Gateway
You can find some info on cyber-telecom.net
For a cheap option you can try a CT-G1000 or CT-G2000 and then plug it in a
X100P or something similar then it would be very economical.

What's your budget?

You could use voiceblue's SIP/GSM gateway (exists in 2 or 4 channels),
it connects to your internal NIC of your "small pbx" (like in:
laptop?) or by using a switch..

Yep, this is the kind of thing I am after, except my hardware PBX has
limited connectivity and ideally I want a USB or ethernet hookup to the
box..?

The scenario is basically a small commercial PBX (small form factor)
which can be supplied with IP phones and will talk out via a cell phone
channel (or via a satellite phone if that's the only option available,
but this is out of scope of this question). So basically I want to
figure out some options to hookup a GSM cellphone channel to a small
form factor asterisk PBX which has limited expansion options (ethernet,
USB and mini-PCI - although prefer to use the later for a wifi card...)

I only need a single channel of GSM right now (and a single SIM)

Any thoughts? Remember this needs to be production quality and priced
sensible for a commodity market

Thanks for pointers to hardware

Then use a Sipura SPA-3000 instead of the X100 card. It's a
freestanding FXO/FXS <> SIP interface. Well proven. Not overly
expensive.

Hardware based SIP<>GSM gateways seem to start at around $250 US. See
www.voip-info.org for a list.

Well alternatively you can look up straight forward gsm voip gateway.
Like CT-375
