The current plan is wireless bridge + directional antennae.

This is an industrial environment. I'm looking for a slightly less expensive (and hopefully more robust) device - whether an intercom unit + ATA or a magic black box that does everything I want and has a power plug and an ethernet jack. Dedicating a $175 cisco phone to this is overkill, IMO. I had given thought to this, it is a backup plan, but again, I'd like to get something perhaps less expensive to the function. -j _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
