Atin:
If I remember correctly, you have already stated the same arguement that you are giving in this post,previously. First, I must say that I am no engineer, so I look at this whole arguement from a common sense approach.
In your comments, you make it sound like Franklin's Tempest is an inferior product just because they use more boards to accomplish basically the same task. You stated that most industrial chassis have about 16 slots which gives you 3 to 4 Ts. My response is.... Who cares? What I care about is the voice quality of the Tempest. If you read the news release yesterday, as well as some of the other news releases and personal testamonials from people that have used the product, it seems as if Franklin's Tempest is definitely at the tops in comparison to the competition. The point that you may be missing is that the superior voice quality as well as some of the rich features lies somewhere in their configuration of the boards. So, if I want to connect more Ts, I buy another Tempest. I have heard it is priced below the competition in price per port, so what difference does this whole arguement make? In my eyes, NONE. Franklin seems to be the leader in quality and price, I really don't care about the guts of the Tempest....voice quality, ease of use, features and price are the attributes I would care about if I were a customer. Unless you can tell me otherwise, it seems as if Franklin's Tempest beats the competition HANDS DOWN. You might want to reread the news release from yesterday. |
