It is called the WiPOT. (For WiFi Plain Old Telephone line) The device delivers legacy analog telephone signal via any WiFi available network. You can use it send and receive faxes, Phones and most importantly for us POS terminals. We have a lot of use for them. And they work well with Asterisk! But I also think anyone could use them in an office environment (office in a box) where people keep moving around or just about anywhere you don't feel like running a line to. I know I am sick of running wires! It can act as a network bridge with a DHCP server and 4 port switch! I think companies that have WiFi everywhere (i.e. Toronto Hydro Telecom) could use them to deloy VoIP service to home and business customers using Asterisk. Pretty cool. We are using a few for the Grand Prix in outdoor areas where we can't physically run a phone line to. They were expensive but since we charge a lot for a phone line they payback quickly. *They are a Toronto company.I think they are looking for a Canadian distributor so if anyone is interested give them a call.
