[Freeswitch-users] WiFi IP VOIP SIP phones

[Sean Devoy]

Thanks to everyone who answered.  I am dealing with a language barrier with
this customer so bear with me.

Now that I understand where these phones are actually going, I can refine my
query.

The basic concept is to change a boarding house with 12 rooms on a single
analog line to VOIP with individual extensions.  6 of the rooms are wired or
will be added easily.  The other 6 rooms cannot be wire but will have WiFi
access.  It sounds like WiFi desk phones would be fine.  Single
Line/Extension is good.

So, can 6 WiFi/DECT phones on distinct bases coexist in the same radio
range?
Now I see Blake has already replied and the SNOM can have a single base with
up to 10 non-shared extensions!  I guess that would be a strategically
placed base and 6 charger/handsets.  I shall ready up on SNOM. 

Would WiFi dongles on Desk phones work better for this venue?

Sean

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
