Linksys SPA8000 8-port Analog Telephone Adaptor
The Linksys SPA8000 is the latest in the line of analog telephone adaptor’s from Linksys. The SPA8000 features eight RJ-11 FXS ports to connect analog telephones to IP-based data networks and includes a single multi-port RJ-21 50-pin connector offering an alternative connection choice when deploying the telephony gateway in varied environments. The device also has one 10/100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet interface to connect to either a router or multi-layer switch.
Allthough the SPA8000 is a step-up in size for Linksys, who has until now played in the residential ATA sector, the greatest benefit of the SPA8000 is that it offers all the key features and capabilities with which service providers can provide customized services to their subscribers. The SPA8000 can be remotely provisioned and supports dynamic, in-service software upgrades. A secure profile upload saves providers the time, expense and hassle of managing and pre-configuring or re-configuring customer premise equipment (CPE) for deployment. The SPA8000 is “built” for large scale deployments.
The Linksys SPA8000 is currently on pre-sale only, and with an MSRP of $299.99, do not expect the price to drop on this product anytime soon.
