[asterisk-users] DECT with handover

[Blake Burgess]

Hi Paulo,

The Kirk systems don't actually have an "asterisk compatible" handover.

What happens is the kirk base does all of the sip registrations and call
handling. The phones then talk DECT back to the base - all of the handover
is done at the DECT level so asterisk doesn't even know it's happening.

The KWS300 is PoE too which is kind of handy - the repeaters don¹t need
any form of ip connectivity - just power.

A few hints since I've deployed a few of these:
A) make sure you do a decent site survey before quoting (basically get a
phone and a base station, start up the signal monitor and hop on a call).
We had to get an extra 4 devices on my first deployment.
B) I've found the 4020 series handsets to be a little fragile - one of my
customers has destroyed 8 of these.
C) the KWS300 actually transmits a wireless signal the others models
require separate base stations.
D) you can purchase repeaters in either a 4 channel or 2 channel and can
have a maximum of three repeaters in a "chain".
