[Asterisk-biz] New Linksys Products Shipping

[Cory Andrews]

I had an SPA-941 provisioned a few weeks ago at a trade show in LA.  It 
was on a standalone kiosk and we were allowing visitors on the trade 
show floor to utilize the phone and make free calls.  Many people were 
using the speakerphone, and were having no problems conversing over the 
speakerphone even with tons of other people milling about making noise.  
If you crank it up all the way, it is almost unpleasantly loud in a 
quiet, normal office environment.
