[asterisk-users] Cisco SPA3102 Thoughts & Other Recommendations

[Shanon Swafford]

I'm confused about the need for an ATA with an FXO port in a car?

Phone -> PAP2T -> ETH -> HotSpot -> Internet -> Asterisk ----- If the
hotspots have ethernet ports, you could go with a PAP2T (2 FXS) and you
could power it with a 12V to 5V converter.  Same with a PSTN cordless phone
but I'd be careful about security.

Aastra -> DECT -> BaseStation -> ETH -> HotSpot -> Internet -> Asterisk
----- Snom and Aastra have DECT phones as well with less than 12V power
requirements.

Unidata -> WiFI -> HotSpot -> Internet -> Asterisk ----- Unidata makes pure
WiFi phones that migth also work in this situation. 

I can help you source some test units if you want.

I'm looking to build a VoIP solution for 100+ service vehicles that have
WiFi hot spots installed (with cellular uplinks).   Currently we are
trying out Skype wireless handselts and Majick Jack.  I'd also like to
consider an Open Source solution that can bring the calls back to our
data center [possibly integrated without our existing BCM 3.x VoIP
PBX].  

For hardware someone on the IRC channel suggested the Cisco SPA3102 and
a cordless phone?  This devices appears to be able to register to an
Asterisk server (there are many related forum and BLOG posts).  Does
anyone have an opinion for or against this device?  Alternatives.  It is
important that the device, or handset, be wireless/cordless.  The WiFi
hub in the vehicle has both WiFi and an ethernet jack.

Sadly our Nortel BCM 3.x system does not support SIP, only H.323.  So an
Asterisk server would have to handle the mobile VoIP devices and
interface with the Nortel BCM.
