Gateway Guinea Pigs Profiled Computer Telephoney April, 1998 "We took four leading VOIP gateway vendors-Inter-Tel, Lucent, Oki, and Vienna- and "hammered" them in our East Coast lab...." OTHER NOTABLE SYSTEMS "...this time around, we could only test four gateways....here's our quick take on the rest of the field." ARRAY.... CISCO... CLARENT... COMDIAL... COM2001... FRANKLIN TELECOM... ...let us make some calls from their booth using their new TEMPEST voip gateway. The voice quality sounded good. Latency wasn't bad for an Internet (non- Intranet) call. We could set a compromise between latency and quality (by hitting "*4" we "turned down" latency during a call or sent more than 30ms frames per ip packet). Price is a further advantage for Franklin's Tempest. At an estimated $19,000 per box, or between $850 and $1000 per port, use of their proprietary T-1 interface cards (Franklin's been in the T-1 biz a long time) helps. Runs on a robust Linux OS.24 ports per chassis. HYPERCOM... INNOMEDIA... LINKON... MICOM... MOTOROLA... NETRIX... NETRUE... NUERA... SIEMENS... SKYWAVE... STARVOX COMMUNICATIONS... VIADSP... VOCALTEC..."version 3.1 sounded reasonable (like a digital cell phone) as we called from our office..." Sam
