As someone who previously worked for a Dialogic customer with a single-digit customer number, I didn’t realize Dialogic had sold its hardware business off (again; after the IBM acquisition and subsequent spin-off). About time.

That said, I never really saw Dialogic as in the SMB space, certainly not their hardware division.

We must have had over 300 D480SC-2T1 boards in service at peak. Absolute workhorses. Their cPCI offerings were never as stable but 16 T1s or 1000 SIP ports in a single slot was extremely attractive. I recall them having issues with their supply chain for the high-density SIP boards in conjunction with field failures that pushed us towards their software product, HMP.

Dialogic’s HMP product was more stable and ultimately cheaper at scale (for SIP anyway; never had good luck with their T1 interface boards on HMP). Funny they didn’t sell that division off. Perhaps it’s still profitable or maybe Sangoma was simply uninterested as it isn’t really aligned with the Asterisk/FreeSWITCH ecosystem.

Wonder how much of that stuff is still running. You left a year after me so I suppose you wouldn’t know ;)
