[asterisk-users] Is there a low cost cell phone base station for asterisk ?

[M.Hockings]

I don't really know the name of what I want to look for but maybe 
someone could tell me if it would be available.

I have a number of old analogue cell phones laying about here and I was 
thinking it would be useful if I could set up a short range base station 
for them that would cover maybe an acre or so.  What I would like to be 
able to do is use it to connect into Asterisk and this way have a useful 
wireless extension-phone range.

I do know that there are WiFi IP phones available but based on the 
connection range to our WiFi access points it seems limited as is our 
existing wireless handset (POTS).

Any thoughts, suggestions ?
