Raspberry Pi supply shortage & price increase. Raspberry Pi alternative.
Amid an ongoing Raspberry Pi shortage and price hikes, Call4tel positions its NX32 Lite as a ready alternative for 3CX PBX appliance use, with more RAM and support for far more simultaneous calls.
Call4tel noted that Raspberry Pi units had been difficult to source for two years due to pandemic-driven demand for home electronics, with the shortage expected to persist through 2022 alongside a price increase on the Raspberry Pi 4.
As a replacement for one of the Pi's common uses - running as a 3CX PBX appliance - Call4tel recommends its NX32 Lite, highlighting a web GUI and 3CX auto-config wizard, official 3CX certification, cloud management access, an SBC conversion option, more RAM, preloaded software, and support for roughly 32 simultaneous calls versus about 8 on a comparable Raspberry Pi setup.
