Luis,

Like Ron, I have tested deploying several different handsets and have
been disappointed. I am currently testing a deployment with a DECT
system by Aastra that uses multiple access points the talk SIP to
Asterisk and DECT to the handset. Being based on DECT they have good
battery life and handover of live calls between points is a key
feature. Pricing is along the same as what I would pay for High end
access points and good handsets. There are systems like this coming
out from Aastra, Snom, Polycom/Kirk and probably some others. If I
were going to deploy the setup you are talking about I would check
this option out before jumping solely on wifi. If you want contact me
off list and I'd be happy to visit in more detail.
