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

[Dean Collins]

I don't know why everyone is getting hung up on call handover etc, just
being able to make cheap outgoing calls is all I'm looking for.

I think this is going to be a great thing.

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:
