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?

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 On 5 May 2013, at 04:16, Mr Nathan Downes wrote:

The SNOM DECT model is inexpensive and really good as well

Not strictly WiFi but if a DECT SIP phone will suffice, the Panasonic KX-TGP500s are great.
