Sangoma A301 Clear Channel T3/E3 Card

Based on bus mastering PCI technology supported by a ring-buffer DMA architecture, the A301 provides 132 Mbps of PCI bus transfer capacity with minimal real-time processor load.

The A301 is ideal for larger organizations or ISPs that have outgrown their multiple T1 or DSL links. The A301 allows these users to take advantage of the relatively low cost of T3/E3 connections when compared to multiple T1 or E1 lines.
