Fanvil GA100-8 FXS VoIP Gateway, 8 Analogue Phone Ports, 2 Ethernet Ports

Overview

The Fanvil GA100-8 FXS VoIP gateway connects 8 analogue phones, fax machines or card payment terminals to an IP phone system (IP PBX). It suits a small office, shop, clinic or branch moving from an old phone system to IP without replacing every handset.

Is it right for you?

Choose it if you have up to 8 analogue devices to keep and an IP PBX or SIP service to connect them to. For fewer devices, a smaller GA100 model may suit better.
