[Freeswitch-users] WiFi IP VOIP SIP phones

Hi Folks,
 +1 -- I use multiple Siemens S675IP DECT 'phones.
Voice quality good (supports G722 and speakerphone is OK, unlike some), range is excellent, Battery life good, and they just work (assuming you don't drop them out of a pocket into the loo, which is how most of my company's DECT 'phones die).

BTW, note that, for large campus sites, there's always something like <http://gigaset.com/pro/uk/en/pages/index.html>
Their CAL pricing for what is a basic SIP server is laughable, but the DECT base stations and cellular controller are not too painful (i.e. it's a good fit with fS ;).

I have to add; SNOM DECT 'phones are OK-good, Panys you either like or don't, but Polycom DECT phones are too toxic for landfill, IMHO.

Problem I've seen with WIFi phones is battery life is not good, range is less than DECT, and I haven't seen a *really* new design for quite a while.
Power is always going to be a problem, as WiFi Tx power is higher than DECT, and the link layer's more "chatty" on standby.

all the best,
  Lawrence
