[asterisk-users] SIP/WiFi handsets?

[Dean Collins]

DECT rocks - I understand the reasons for wanting to use wifi but
sometimes when it's raining it makes more sense to drive a motorcar
instead of ride a motorcycle :-)

 

 

 

 

Cheers,

Dean

I think that if I could go back and do this project over, I would have
chosen DECT as well. We have intermittent problems with the wifi AP's
also.

I had a good experience with that Polycom/Spectralink phone. Very rugged
as you say.  The experience did highlight the weaknesses in consumer
Wifi AP, which reinforced my commitment to continue using DECT around my
office.

	Ken,
	 I did lots of research on this for my VoIP deployment here
where I work. We have a huge manufacturing floor and all the supervisors
have wifi phones. We evetually settled on the Polycom Spectralink 8002.
A nice rugged little phone with great sound quality and some good
features. We use a managed switch to create seamless wifi coverage over
all of our AP's. Provisioning the phone is pretty easy, but no web
browser if you were planning on using the phone to travel with, some
hotels require login for internet access.
	 
	 I also tried a clamshell wifi SIP phone by D-Link. This phone
actually works really well, but we had some minor issues with it so we
went with all Spectralink phones. But the D-Link phone would be good
choice if you plan to take your wifi phone on the road.
	 
	 I also tested the Linksys WIP330 which I thought was a terrible
phone. Very difficult to use.
	 
	 Good luck.

and can't

	 Thanks!
