I've got a client who would love to be able to leave an asterisk server running sompelace, and achieve telephone connectivity using an IP phone from within his Motorhome in his words "I want to be able to work from a mountaintop in Glacier National Park"
I've done some initial testing, and a SNOM200 SIP phone comes close enough to working that I have not ruled out the idea as completely un-workable. I understand that this is an extreamly hostile environment, the satelite uplink itself introduces too much latency for a standard configuration to work (1500ms) which is most likely where the problems come from. What I'm wondering is if anyone has ever succeded in making a setup like this work. Different protocol (H.323 MCGP etc) or different codecs? Our testing in his driveway revealed the following. 1. Incoming calls achieve a ring almost immediately, when answered there is 1 to 2 seconds delay in the conversation (like a really poor trans-atlantic call) 2. Outgoing calls fail... the phone returns "Proxy Authentication Required" however a few seconds later when the handset is picked up the inbound leg of the RTP stream is preseant on the phone. Outgoing audio is non-existant 3. Attempts to disconnect from that audio stream fail, the * server is simply not seeing the hangup from the phone. So whats everyones opinion, worth exploring further, or am I wasting my time trying? Thanks in advance. Paul M.
