Hi Michael,<br>

Hi Lane...<br>
<br>
Snom is also supposed to have a repeater for those in the near future.. Just<br>
in case you need a bit more range.<br>

I currently use 1 base station with 8 M3's and have yet to have a problem.<br>
All 8 phones have their own ext's. I will be converting another location to<br>
VOIP and have more M3's to use.<br>
