[Asterisk-Users] WI FI IP phones??

[Joseph Finley]

I've actually engineered some WiFi at come medical clinics and it does
depend on the gear you purchase.  Cisco addresses this in their "marketing"
and technical spec sheets.  The two major hospitals in my area use wireless
for their phones and mobile laptops for the nurses as they go room to room
on a push cart.

Um, I'm not so sure that you're going to be able to run WiFi at a 
hospital.  The life safety/support equipment is most likely not 
certified to be resistant to 2.4Ghz interference.  It's been a while 
since I looked up ISM allocations but, I can tell you that I've seen 
many "good ideas" shot down because of the "potential to interfere" with 
the medical equipment.
