A GE Interface 16 Port FXS Gateway is a type of analog VoIP gateway that connects up to 16 analog telephone devices (such as desk phones, fax machines, or analog PBXs) to an IP-based network using a Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface for high-speed data transmission.

Key Features:
  • 16 FXS Ports: Each port supports one analog device, enabling voice communication over an IP network.
  • Gigabit Ethernet Interface: Ensures fast and stable connection to IP networks or softswitches.
  • SIP Protocol Support: Compatible with most IP PBXs and VoIP service providers.
  • Advanced Call Features: Caller ID, call forwarding, 3-way calling, and voicemail support.
  • Remote Management: Web GUI and SNMP for easy monitoring and configuration.

Business Use Cases:
  • SMBs and Enterprises: Connect analog phones in branch offices to a centralized VoIP system.
  • Hotels and Hospitals: Ideal for locations with many rooms still using analog phones.
  • Legacy System Integration: Allows businesses to upgrade to VoIP without replacing all analog devices.

By deploying a GE Interface 16 Port FXS gateway, businesses can reduce communication costs, streamline voice infrastructure, and gradually transition from legacy systems to modern IP telephony without disruption.
