<div>The SIP side of every DECT phone I've worked with looks/works just like any regular SIP phone. Asterisk just sees a SIP endpoint. If it's multi-handset/multi-account it's much like configuring a multi-line SIP phone.</div>

<div>This is all dependent on the phone/base, but every one I've used does. Again, it works just like any other SIP handset that supports a central config server.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Honestly while there's a little bit of learning to do, deploying a SIP-DECT solution isn't really different from other phones and you should just jump into it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are very pleased with Spectralink for larger/industrial applications and Panasonic for small office applications.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Devote four hours to learning and you'll be comfortable with the configs for either.</div>
