The Cisco SPA8000-G1 Analog Terminal Adapter is an 8-port IP gateway that was made especially for small businesses by providing them an efficient and affordable way to get enhanced communication services through a broadband internet connection. 

The Cisco SPA8000-G1 Analog Terminal Adapter is perfect for small businesses, but it also ideally suited for home businesses, call centers, cubicle offices and multi-dwelling environments. This is because it offers superb VoIP access while allowing for the utilization of existing analog phones and teleconferencing equipment. This extends the life of your current phones thus saving your budget from having to purchase IP phones. 

The SPA8000 features eight RJ-11 FXS ports to connect analog telephones to IP-based data networks and includes a single multi-port RJ-21 50-pin connector offering an alternative connection choice when deploying the telephony gateway in varied environments. The device also has one 10/100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet interface to connect to either a router or multi-layer switch. 

Installed by the end user and remotely provisioned, configured and maintained by the service provider, each SPA8000 converts voice traffic into data packets for transmission over an IP network and uses common standards for voice and data networking for reliable voice and fax operation.
