IP Dslams

Wed Jan 2 04:01:26 UTC 2019

Indstead of using a  Vega 3050 for voice I would just get a DSLAM with a
Combo card, and be done with it. VDSL2+ ports plus SIP FXS all on the same
card. With that you get metalic testing which would be good for your
situation.

How many units are you talking about? Do you have access to Coaxial cable?
