For a field trial we bought about 50 flutstars F1000. Audio quality reasonable, reach also good. Minus-points were: wep-only and the capacity/quality of the batteries. Instead of DECT, we bought our own base-stations and made our own GSN-network. Much cheaper as all of the people allready have an GSM-phone. hw _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 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
