RE: Total internal VOIP?

["Jon Whiten" <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I now understand you a little better.

I have only seen devices that present 2 VOIP circuits to the DECT base
station, and I found that this was a little too limiting for me.  I did
find
a Mitel solution ( http://www.mitel.com/resources/data_IP_Dect_Data_P8.pdf
)
that allows up to 8 VoIP paths but this also seemed to need another central
Mitel Box.


Regards

Jon

no, thats wifi - a protocol never designed for voice usage patterns, Look
at
the awefull standby times for an example. If you talked for 2 hours, you
would only then have about 12 hours of standby left. Hardly exciting, and
the handset is somewhat large.

Wifi also seems to have a much shorter range then dect, Sure, you can
possibly knock the IP phone back to 1 meg like the cisco ones do (If I
recall right) - but that will make the AP useless for everyone else to use.

Dect is designed for cordless phones, it has much better standby times, and
theres no QOS to worry about with others using the same AP making your
packetloss go to shit. While there are QOS standards on the way, I think
all
your wireless devices will have to support it.

I want to locate something that will have ethernet on one end, and an
antenna on the other, perhaps a web interface to allow me to associate
handsets with it, and then it, and any others that I configure the same
will
work together to make each dect handset appear as an independant SIP phone
to the asterisk box, Im sure there would be a little more to it then that,
but you get the idea.
