Hi
Perhaps i'am wrong but I'm not sure you can handle 100 or more phones with one alone SBC.

There's no misunderstanding on your side, this is really SBC spec. you ask for, not for a 3CX PBX server?

Latest version can handle 100 extensions https://www.3cx.com/blog/releases/sbc-performance/

Yep, that's what's listed at the bottom of the hardware specs link I posted.

Thanks but does someknow a known mahine like HP or Dell something, i can buy and sure that this will be best machine to put the 100 phones behind SBC.

Yes any HP (or Dell or Lenovo or Acer or whatever you like) that meets the specs given.

Could always go for a few Raspberry Pi's and spread your phones out so you dont have a single point of failure

We have these in practice for the Debian SBC at numerous sites, the newest SBC version and they work phenomenal:

There is no incidental trouble with this hardware either, the proper drivers, etc, are all present in the debian 3cx build, just boot the ISO from a USB or USB DVD-ROM Drive

That's great to know! I've been resorting to looking at Refurb Dell Micro 9020's to get an easy mass-market device beyond a Pi.

How many Extensions and BLF per phone you are using with these SBC

@Brett

How many Extensions and BLF per phone you are using with these SBC

one site has 46 yealink phones, 2 SIP callboxes, a SNOM PA1 loudspeaker, and the receptionist phone has a full three pages of BLFs on a T-54w with the 3 page sidecart. The rest of the phones have 5-6 BLFs each.

Another site has 12 Yealink T54s. and 50 Polycom VVX400s, all the phones have about 5-6 BLFs.

Those are the two that come to mind and we haven't had any issues with them.
