I understand smartphones is not a good option, but what about these WiFi
SIP phones?
I thing smartfones simply lack a business grade softhone implementation.
WiFi SIP phones share some problem with smartphones: battery runtime
and, most important, roaming and handover.
In WiFi network handling roaming/handover is up to the client, this is
the same kind of problem that arises in mobile WiFi POS systems.
Compared to DECT standard which implements roaming/handover this is a
major drawback.
Implementing a proper roaming/handover in WiFi networks, using wireless
controllers and suitable access points, is very expensive. Where such
expensive WiFi infrastructure have to be built only to properly serve
wireless phones a DECT multicell system is definitely a winner
considering coverage, features and battery runtime.
