DECT rocks - I understand the reasons for wanting to use wifi but sometimes when it's raining it makes more sense to drive a motorcar instead of ride a motorcycle :-)

I think that if I could go back and do this project over, I would have chosen DECT as well. We have intermittent problems with the wifi AP's also.

Very rugged as you say. The experience did highlight the weaknesses in consumer Wifi AP, which reinforced my commitment to continue using DECT around my office.

From: Jason Baker <[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]> Date: Wed, September 23, 2009 10:02 am To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion <[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]> Ken, I did lots of research on this for my VoIP deployment here where I work. We have a huge manufacturing floor and all the supervisors have wifi phones. We evetually settled on the Polycom Spectralink 8002. A nice rugged little phone with great sound quality and some good features. We use a managed switch to create seamless wifi coverage over all of our AP's. Provisioning the phone is pretty easy, but no web browser if you were planning on using the phone to travel with, some hotels require login for internet access. I also tried a clamshell wifi SIP phone by D-Link. This phone actually works really well, but we had some minor issues with it so we went with all Spectralink phones. But the D-Link phone would be good choice if you plan to take your wifi phone on the road. I also tested the Linksys WIP330 which I thought was a terrible phone. Very difficult to use. Good luck. http://www.polycom.com/products/voice/wireless_solutions/wifi_communicat ions/handsets/spectralink_8002_wireless.html http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=485 http://www.voipsupply.com/linksys-wip330-na Jason Baker IT Coordinator Glastender, Inc. 5400 North Michigan Road Saginaw, Michigan 48604 USA Phone: 989.752.4275 ext. 228 Fax: 989.752.4276 www.glastender.com Ken D'Ambrosio wrote: Anyone know of any *portable* SIP/WiFi handsets? Looking for a decent price:quality ratio, of possible. Keep seeing handsets for Vonage, etc., in Best Buy and the like, but I imagine it's locked to Vonage, and can't be re-appropriated.
