FW: [Asterisk-Users] WiFi / GSM VoIP Handsets..

[Roshan Sembacuttiaratchy]

Or you need a very sophisticated phone onto which the corresponding 
software can be loaded, for example the Nokia N series with the software 
from Avaya.  This combination allows transparent handover of a call from 
WiFi to GSM, and back again to WiFi.  It's not a cheap solution, though, 
and only an option really for a company who are really serious about 
using this technology.  I don't think Asterisk comes into play at all, 
as they have their own propriotory server for this.  Here's a link which 
kind of describes what I've mentioned here:

And something partly related from the Avaya site:

The chief cause of problems is solutions.
