Hi guys,

I'm new to this group, and already, would like to seek for any inputs.

Can the BCM 400 support 900 branches, each branch with just one IP
phone? Basically there needs to be only 5 concurrent calls between
head office and branches at any one time.

Any inputs would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jonathan

No.
Even though you will only have 5 concurrent calls there would still be 900
extensions. But there's more then one way to skin a cat.

If you're dead set on using a BCM, which I wouldn't recommend for this
situation (and I design Voice/Data infrastructures for a living), you could
use a 50, 200, or 400 in the main site depending on the number of local
extensions and trunks you need, and then use a BCM 50 at each remote with
one IP, analog, or TDM set (using an analog would save a lot of money but
you loose MWI), and one VoIP trunk pointed back to the main site. The main
site would need only 5 VoIP trunks since these are shared to all the
remotes.

But frankly this situation screams pure IP instead of a hybrid system. What
feature are you looking for AA, CCR, CC, VM, UM, these will play a big part
in determining if you should be using a simple Asterisk system or a SC1000.
Also, what's your IP connectivity between sites.

BTW Like I said I do this for a living so if you're really interested in
engaging a consultant you can contact me directly. Otherwise, I look at this
group every once in a while.
