August 1st, 2017, Digium announced the release of their new E-Series Switchvox appliances and subscription changes.<\/p>\n

Targeting small to medium businesses, Digium’s new E-Series Switchvox appliances are built with less operational complexity and better value at an even lower price. The Switchvox E-Series<\/a> includes the E510<\/a>, the E520<\/a>, the E530<\/a> and the E540<\/a>. Let’s see what all the buzz is about!<\/p>\n

Up to 500 Users and 200 Concurrent Calls<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you have ever used any of the older versions of the Switchvox appliances, you will tell the difference right away. The E-Series<\/a> are all SIP only appliances with up to 600 supported phones, 200 concurrent calls, and 200 conference users. Much powerful and flexible than before.<\/p>\n

Less Weight, Lower Price<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Comparing to the older, smallest versions of the Switchvox appliances, the Switchvox 80 and the Switchvox 310, the E510 is much lighter (less than 2 lbs) and can easily fit in your backpack. What’s even better is that you can get the E510 for less-than-half the price of the Switchvox 310. It comes with no bundled registration code (hardware only) and pre-installed Switchvox software.<\/p>\n

The next level up, the E520 appliance also supports more concurrent calls and conference users (up to 100) than its counterparts with only 6 pounds of weight at a much lower price. The E-Series appliances are the first ever Switchvox appliances that are powered by Dell hardware. Check out how the E520 and E530 compare to the older Switchvox 310 and the Switchvox 360 models in the charts below!<\/p>\n

The E530 and E540 support up to 600 phones and up to 200 concurrent calls. They are also Dell-based appliances with less than 24 lbs weight at a much affordable price. These two models are equipped with the iDRAC8 Enterprise with Lifecycle Controller with no additional costs, allowing you to monitor, maintain, and update your units easily.<\/p>\n
