Well, in this specific case I am looking at, the customer has a large temperatures controller warehouse (with different sections at different temperature) and on 2 floors.

Re: [on-asterisk] WIFI portable SIP phone
Hi Bill et al, How does Bria compare to Zoiper for iphone or wiphone? Zoiper for iphone is free. Is Bria worth $7.99? I still like open source/free apps, but if the comercial app is much better, maybe it's worth it? All comments/experiences with iphone/ipad sip/iax apps are much appreciated. --terry On Fri, Sep 02, 2011 at 08:22:03AM -0400, Bill Sandiford wrote: -- I use Bria for iPhone on my iPhone and iPad and it works great. -- -- -Original Message- -- From: Andre Courchesne [mailto:courc...@net-forces.com] -- Sent: Friday, September 02, 2011 8:15 AM -- To: Reza - Voipernetics -- Cc: asterisk Mailing -- Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] WIFI portable SIP phone -- -- Interesting Thanks for the feedback. -- -- Wondering how a latest generation iPod with a SIP or IAX soft phone -- would stickup to the Samsung S Android.

Re: [on-asterisk] anyone played with single board computer (SBC)?
Frank, Admittedly a single box is a nicer solution - but the 1810G-8 is about half the price of an Intel quad gigabit Ethernet controller card, and you don't have to worry about finding a suitable PC that will house the card (or two of them). Just goes to show there is no one perfect answer, just a spectrum of reasonable answers. Regards, Doug.

This mapping turned the tagged packets used on the VLAN port back into untagged packets that regular devices understand. Instant 7 port Ethernet card. The disadvantage of this is that the aggregate speed of the system is only 1G (well, 2G when you think of full duplex) - but since few of us have an Internet connection anywhere close to 1G it seemed like a good trade off.

Re: [on-asterisk] WIFI portable SIP phone
If you're considering commercial apps, I've had great success with Groundwire from Acrobits. It has all of the features of a business-class SIP phone. The push feature keeps their server registered with your SIP account for incoming calls, and alert if a call comes in. You enter the app answer the call - nice because you don't need to keep the app running in background, thus consuming less battery. They have an entry level app as well, Acrobits Softphone, without as many business features but otherwise it's the same back end. It costs a little less. On 9/2/11 8:58 AM, Terry D.
