We are using Polycom 500-600, Cisco 7940 everyday. We tried PA1688-based phones. The latest are very far from desired business quality, also those have limited set of functions.On Sun, 19 Dec 2004 12:52:40 +0000, w fm3 wrote:
Hi
I am struggling with hardware choices to get started with. My options are narrowed down to SIP phones - Polycom IP500, IP600 and Cisco 7940G.
of importance is:
- functionality / integration with asterisk - headset functionality and use - voice quality - build quality
Is there much of a difference between Polycom and Cisco? Scanning the group it looks like there may be slightly more issues with Polycom but I don't know how they stack up on the integration with Asterisk and future flexability.
Any recommendations appreciated.
Thanks
Walt
I would seriously start looking at IP Phones based on the PA1688 chipset. Particularly those which use one of the standard loads....
Have a look at http://www.aredfox.com/edownloads.htm
whistl IAX2 at the time of writing is not there, its wont be long at
all :-)
After trying a few phones we picked Polycom IP600 for our 10+ extensions setup. No regrets so far.
Of course, IAX2 firmware for Polycoms and/or Cisco would have solved SIP-NAT-related headache for telecommuters and remote SOHO setups.
