I am confusing that the Edgerouter ERLite-3 has price $49 with 1 mil packet per second which is same price with Cisco Linksys E2500 with the packet per second (Not sure).
Why are you confused by the prices? Price does not determine quality, especially with companies like Cisco who charge you for their brand name with no connection to the cost of the product that they are selling.
Ubiquiti is the best on the market for the space that they are in. Cisco is possibly the worst or near to it, in most cases. Price has no basis in quality.

It's a shame that we don't have many suppliers in the UK that are selling the Edge Router.

@JackCPickup - Well Ebuyer and Misco doesn't supply them and they are probably one of our biggest IT suppliers.

Meh, sometimes. If you have a credit card. The point of working in distribution channels is that you do not use a credit card.

@Jimmy_K I am curious as to what the application for voice is. Is it a call center? 60% end point utilization is very high for normal office use.

@Francesco-Provino Thanks for your response.
I am confusing that the Edgerouter ERLite-3 has price $49 with 1 mil packet per second which is same price with Cisco Linksys E2500 with the packet per second (Not sure). The Cisco one which I am using it is unable to deliver the outbound call. Most of the calls are drop, busy and no voice or breaking voice.
The E2500 series Linksys uses a weak broadcomm CPU and has 64mb of RAM
