[asterisk-users] using Wifi smartphones as SIP clients

[Bart Coninckx]

Benny,

very useful, thank you.
So, in short, at this stage it's best to go DECT for wireless and if 
DECT and Wifi need to be combined (because both types of devices exist 
in the organization), it's preferable to go to access points that offer 
both networks.

Correct?

thx,

BC
