Yep wifi doesn't do base to base roaming, stick with dect for the next 12-18 months until wifi gets it's act together.
You might also like to check out Nira (or ascom nira) as they have a standalone dect solution if you are looking to rollout a truly large system for a manufacturing/warehouse (hell I've seen an ericsson md110 being used as a standalone for 1 installation (a little over 40 million square feet of coverage with 300 handsets) but I somehow don't think this is the league you are talking about). Cheers, Dean p.s. yes I know that there are 2 wifi base to base roaming solutions available but they are dammed expensive for what you are getting and dect is a perfectly good solution for today. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michiel van Baak > Sent: Wednesday, 17 August 2005 2:51 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] DECT gateways > > On 20:42, Wed 17 Aug 05, Yoann Le Bihan wrote: > > 2005/8/17, Michiel van Baak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Is there any other solution like this out there that works > > > with asterisk ? > > > > Why don't you use WiFi VoIP phones like ZyXEL 2000W (which is not such > > expensive compared with Cisco ones...) ? > > > > Best regards, > > > > There are no cisco phones involved.
