Analog devices, Cloud PBX and Cloud Connector requirement
MicrosoftHey Alan.
So we absolutely have on the roadmap a lightweight set of ATAs that can be used for analog devices. Essentially the ATA will log into Office 365 like an IP phone does today. Don't have a timeframe for availability at this time though. So for the time being I suggest keeping the analog phones in place while you migrate users over to Cloud PBX and PSTN Calling.
Thanks!

I was wondering if there is any progress on the 'lightweight set of ATA' becoming available?
Would be really nice to avoid gateway/SBC.

Hey Robert
So there's not an update at this time unfortunately. I've moved to a different part of the business (Skype Admin Console in O365) so I haven't been tracking this super close, but it came up in a recent conversation as still having an undefined date.

nomorephones If Analog phones will be able to register to SfB Online wouldn't we be able to track it here https://products.office.com/en-us/business/office-365-roadmap?filters= ?
I can't find anything so if possible can you try to publish it on the roadmap so we don't need to hunt you all the time for an update?Thanks

Hello Markus! I've moved to a different area of the product and so don't have an update on this topic. Adding Paul Cannon who is now looking after the voice workload for comment. Thanks!
Hi nomorephones
Has there been any update on this? Our organization has already started a major migration to Skype for Business Online and we have over 60 analog devices that we need to tie into our Cloud PBX.
I think there are a lot of us right there with you Christian. We are starting to roll these cloud systems out for clients, and this ATA issue is the one snag in the sales, engineering, and deployment process. Everything from doorbells to elevators put POTS lines right back into the architecture.
Does Microsoft have some prototypes they want systems integrators to test? How about some firmware to flash a solid Cisco or other brand ATA with? We will do the ground work, maybe even some of the leg work, we just need some bones to chew on. Thank you.
