Obihai is moving on from us little fish. I saw the info the other day somewhere. Look for voip providers offering the Obi customized for their systems and locked down for only their configurations. I see Anveo as a good target.
Now is the time to partner with Obihai and start a voip company.
A win, win, for them. Shifts some of the burden to the VSPs, just like Microsoft shifts some of the burden to OEMs. If RonR was smart, he could partner with one of these VoIP providers doing set-up...and a paycheck.

True, I am sure much of RonR's knowledge of digit maps and call routes never came out on this forum. I wish I knew just half of the stuff we had the opportunity to receive from him. If I did, I would be selling these things at every county fair in our area. Fair season is coming soon.
Here is the info I referenced in my earlier post. It was in the Obi202 thread.
Cloud-Based Configuration and Software Management
The OBi202 includes the ability to be managed by the OBiTALK cloud configuration service. From anyplace where there is an Internet connection, OBiTALK allows users to add OBi devices, configure VoIP accounts and share services amongst their own OBi endpoints and those of their trusted friends. In-service software updates are easily performed either automatically from the OBiTALK portal or by dialing ***6 from a phone attached to the OBi device.
Zero-Touch Provisioning with Remote Management / Diagnostic Troubleshooting
With Obihai Zero-Touch provisioning (ZT), it is very easy for service providers to purchase OBi units in quantity and realize the benefits of touch-less provisioning to lower operational costs and speed-up customer deployments. OBi units provisioned via ZT can be fully customized such that the OBi factory default settings are those of the service provider and securely locked to the OBi device after initial power-up and ZT provisioning. Subsequent subscriber-targeted profile configurations can be directly served from the service provider’s network with security and reliability.
Complimentary to ZT, Obihai have a specialized web-portal for VoIP service providers. Via the portal, service provider support engineers can access each device individually to troubleshoot and configure specific parameter settings as well as set-up and perform loop-back calls and other tests without requiring the end user subscriber’s assistance or intervention.

I assume it's still aspirational, or at least not public! I haven't heard of any VSP deploying locked OBiHai the way Linksys or Grandstream adapters are deployed. Maybe Ron's startup will be the first one :-X Good luck then!

The beauty of Obi is the fact that it is not locked and can be used with different providers, at least if you know how to configure it or chew through Ron's old postings ( God bless him). I do not think that anybody is waiting for one more proprietary device. If this is the direction they want to go and I would have to buy and run a separate VOIP adapter for every provider I use I may decide to quit VOIP all together.
jimates:
On the Obi202, web access is disabled out of the box, so the local user can't access it on their network. The device will be accessible from the "specialized web-portal for VoIP service providers" by the provider itself.
It seems like the 202 is a little overkill if it is going to be locked down by a single provider.
