Most ATAs I've seen are primarily SOC (System On Chip) implementations. I've never really taken one apart, but perhaps now is a good time. I recently also purchased a QuickPhones QA-342 wifi rechargeable handset: <a href="http://www.voipsupply.com/quickphones-qa-342-wifi-sip-phone?utm_source=quickphones-wifi-cat&utm_medium=banner">http://www.voipsupply.com/quickphones-qa-342-wifi-sip-phone?utm_source=quickphones-wifi-cat&utm_medium=banner</a><br>
<br>I was curious to try this out, even though I knew it was SIP only. In the office, it works GREAT - LONG battery life, good reception, but no IAX support. A good IAX ATA and IAX protocol stack in a phone like the QA-342 would be a hands down winner all around. <br>
<br>Immagine, being able to roam anywhere with a device like this or ATA and not having to fuss with SIP/NAT. <br><br>I wish I had knowledge on building embedded devices, else I'd build my own by now...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
