We used it in our installation and had some issues. We were passing fax and modem calls through via the second port as a TDM bridged call. For some reason, the timing was off even though we explicitly set the timing in the redfone.conf file. We replaced it with a Sangoma A102d and haven't been happier.
FWIW, it worked just fine for voice calls. It was only problematic with data communications.

Subject: [asterisk-users] RedFone foneBRIDGE2 2e1 - anyone used it or another TDMoE bridge?
I've been asked to look at deploying Asterisk in a high availability environment and I've been looking so I've been searching for methods to decouple the voice PRI circuits from the Asterisk server so failover to another server could take place.
I've been looking at the RedFone foneBRIDGE2 2e1 product here:
http://www.mapleleaf-technologies.com/webstore/redfone_fonebridge2_2e1.php
Has anyone used this device (or something similar)? What were your thoughts on it? On the surface this seems like a perfect method of building high availability Asterisk environments, but I'm a little hesitant to spend a few grand just to find out it's a pipe dream.

Also to add to the last post does this device have hardware echo
cancelation?
if it does it could be a great replacement, if not may not be what I'd
really want to use.
Thanks,
tom

For high-availability Asterisk when using PRI Lines, you might also want
to check out our product (FSV-4PFS). It's available at
www.failsafevoip.com

Which is something not unlike the Junghanns ISDNGuard.

We had many problems with the FoneBridge2-EC as well. We followed all
of Redfone's hardware requirements (e.g. a good server, a dedicated NIC
for TDMoE, a dedicated IRQ, good cabling, etc.) and even let them log
into our Asterisk box to tweak things, but there were still many HDLC
errors and glitches in the audio (irritating for voice and show-stopping
for faxes).
We replaced it with a Digium TE121 and the problems went away. Faxing
has been clear and reliable ever since.
(The only issue we've had with the TE121 is echo on voice calls, even
with the hardware echo cancelling module and lots of zapata.conf tuning...)
