[Asterisk-Users] WiFi Phones

[Pedro]

The UTStarcom F1000 with the latest firmware (3.10st) has improved sound
volume over the default firmware shipped with the units. Also, TFTP
configuration works well so you don't have to configure the units with the
keypad. You will need to get the configuration compiler from your vendor and
be aware that the default encryption key should be set to NULL rather than
F1000 as stated in the docs when compiling your config. At first I was not
sure how I would like a WiFi phone because I figured it would sound bad, but
I have been very impressed with the quality of the F1000. We have now added
it to our VoIP product offerings.
