How many VIC2-4FXO can support by Cisco 2901 model..

We are in situation where asked us to check where we can connect 13 Analog lines on Cisco 2901 voice gateway.

A Single VIC2-4FXO can be use to connect 4 Analog Line....as per this calculation we need 4 VIC2-4FXO card...but question here is does Cisco 2901 supports 4 no's of   VIC2-4FXO cards

Yes, the 2901 model will support four VIC2-4FXO modules. It has four EHWIC slots.

Thanks for information...

is there any other hardware or card can we use for the same

For that model it is the best card to achieve the 13 lines. You could go with three VIC2-4FXO and one VIC2-2FXO but I think at that point your splitting hairs. The 2FXO is half the price of the 4FXO. If you go with all 4FXOs, if one goes bad then you have more spare ports. Your choice and budget.

Make sure you also purchase PVDMs for these cards. I'll believe a PVDM3-16 would suffice.
