Presenting Simado GFX11, a compact and intelligent terminal that satisfies all your voice communication needs using the GSM line. The FXS port of the Simado GFX11 can be interfaced to the trunk (CO) port of any PBX. This allows all users of the PBX to make and receive calls through the GSM line.

Let Matrix Simado GFX11 be the bridge between your PBX and the GSM networks and add a competitive edge to your business by reducing telephone costs!

Matrix Simado GFX11 is a gateway to interface GSM and Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) networks. On the GSM side, it supports quad-band operation allowing it to work with any GSM network. On the POTS side, the FXS port can be connected to any existing PBX.

Incoming calls on the GSM port are routed to the FXS port to reach the operator or any extension of the PBX. For outgoing calls, the PBX users continue dialing the numbers as if dialing on the normal trunk (CO) lines. Thus, the existing PBX users can avail the low tariff of GSM networks by connecting Simado GFX11 with the PBX without changing their existing infrastructure.

In addition, Matrix Simado GFX11 can also be used without a PBX in a stand-alone mode.

Access to long distance and international dialing can be controlled by programming Allowed and Denied Lists. This logic allows flexibility of allowing access to certain numbers while restricting to all others.

Number Translation feature automatically adds area code as prefix to a number before dialing it out on the GSM. Moreover, features like Hotline, Signal Strength Indication and Location Information Indication and Network Selection are also supported.
