Hi Tobias and the list,

Yes, I have, I use and sell them to integrators  ;-)
But only the 600v3 family, not the older ISND or analog versions, and the
current DECT handsets 40XX.
Any Digium interfaces run well with them as any SIP IP-Phone, of course.
The sound quality is GREAT and the infrastructure deployment possibilities
wonderfull and scalable !
But, you must run a training with the company to well understand the how to
do and capture the knowledge.
I must also say that I am a radio guru and it's certainly easyer for me to
understand this kind of equipments and how to avoid the deployment traps
that an engineer who doesn't know what are radiocommunications but only
VoIP.

I have run them behind all current Asterisk versions, including the
ASteriskNOW.
Check about your codecs as usual.

The last firmware from this last week suppresses few minor buggs occured
during roaming in few previous cases.

Best Regards,
Francois BERGERET,
France.

 Hi the list,
 
 Think Kirk solution  ;-)
 www.kirktelecom.com
 
Do you have this working in you enviroment ?

Currently I have some test devices from Kirk (KIRK Wireless Server 600/3
with SIP protocoll and a couple of handsets). But i am not able to get audio
between the handset and the destination then i call a zap channel. Calling
another Kirk handset or another SIP phone (Snom) works quite well, then i
dont put any options in the Dial Command. Otherwise i dont't get any audio
also. Signalling a call is no problem.

It would be great to hear from you if your setup work perfectly and what
your enviroment is (Asterisk Version, type of Kirk Server).

Thanks in advance,

Depending on the cabling, 10MBit should do for VoIP. As an alternative,
you could still use analogue phones with a FXO/FXS card (sorry I use to
mixup those, I don't have too much analogue phone hardware anymore). Of
course this would give you the full market bandwidth of available
analogue phones.

If you read this list you'll find plenty of people complaining about

Stick with wired phones and one or two wireless for particular people

I would add to this by saying the same... (Assuming you're talking about

The technology is there, but I'm not convinced it's robust enough - yet. 
I'm sure it will get there though.


Wi-Fi has many issues - including performance - with many subscribers to a 
single base-station you'll experience drop-outs, packet loss, etc.


However, if you're looking for wireless, then you might want to look at 
some of the DECT solutions - either by connecting analuge base stations to 
a TDM card, or using a SIP compatable base station.


I've just deployed a pair of Siemens CP460IP's and just ordered a couple 
more. So-far so good. They aren't perfect - check the WiKi for some 
details though.


  http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Siemens+Gigaset+C450IP

And if you need to extend range, there are relay units avalable, although 
I've found coverage to be better than other DECT systems I've used.


The down-side is that you can only (I think) have 6 base stations in any 
one area, so if you're looking to give everyone their own wireless phone, 
it may prove to be problematic - however I've not got the hard facts on 
number of DECT basestations, so I could be wrong here.

Aastra has some new products coming that combine DECT with SIP, and look

with their SPA-9XX series phones to untether them from your wired LAN,
and have no direct feedback on these in a commercial deployment however.

Gordon, 
If you need to have high density DECT then it's very easily achievable
but like all things you need to move to a commercial situation rather
than a domestic style gigaset.

I used to sell commercial DECT solutions (eg starting at $40k+ - my
largest individual site was a 250K solution).

I've even seen an ericsson md110 with nothing but high density dect
cards supporting a multi acre military facility.

My point is you can have more than 6 handsets in a single 'zone'.

To answer Jordan's original question - why do you want wifi? Do these
people have desks? Monitors? Pc's connected to cables? Then don't be
silly and try to give them wifi when the technology is too immature.

If you ARE working in a trading situation where people don't have desks
and are totally mobile then you need to use commercial DECT.

You should be able to use 10baseT over Cat 3 cables.
A half decent manageable 10/100 switch will be able to lock the ports to 
10Mb. 10 megabits is plenty for voice.


Depending on the quality of the wiring, your mileage may vary. Take care 
to use proper structured wiring techniques. Put Cat5 sockets on the desk 
end and a patch panel in the closet. DO NOT crimp RJ45 connectors onto 
building wiring. They are not meant for this type of cable and THEY WILL 
NOT BE RELIABLE.

If they have Cat 3 to each phone, how can it be physically impossible?
Is it *physically* impossible, or is the client emotionally unready for
the implications?

If they are going to VoIP, it is time to do proper cabling and put in
Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable, and do multiple runs per workstation. Diddling
around is for the radio club.

(Another poster pointed out that Cat3 can do 10BaseT, but most Cat3
installations are so old that I wouldn't place my trust in them for
anything requiring the level of reliability people expect of their voice

Voice equipment should work well and all the time -- five 9's

Hi the list,

Think Kirk solution  ;-)
www.kirktelecom.com

This is an DECT/GAP infrastructure solution, and the bases can be seen as
something like SIP/DECT gateways.
Each wireless phone is like a separate IP phone from Asterisk side.
You can use several bases and repeaters (only radio link, no Ethernet cable)
to extend the range and have a global coverage into customers buildings.
Very incredible, powerfull and scalable solution !
I think it's probably the only one with such a class and commercial grade.

Just be careful with any multi vendor GAP solution (GAP is Generic
Access Profile - which means you are supposed to be able to take a
handset from any vendor and match it with a base station from any
vendor)

Basically it's like any standardsure you get basic functionality but
you'll often find advanced features are outside the defined spec.

as
 something like SIP/DECT gateways.
 Each wireless phone is like a separate IP phone from Asterisk side.
 You can use several bases and repeaters (only radio link, no Ethernet
cable)
 to extend the range and have a global coverage into customers
buildings.
 Very incredible, powerfull and scalable solution !
 I think it's probably the only one with such a class and commercial
grade.

Re: [asterisk-users] wireless desktop phones

2007-03-28 Thread Andrew Joakimsen

In that respect I'd rather recommend the Linksys WIP300. After initial
frustration it does work great. Roaming actually works pretty well
with perhaps 250ms of silence and or distortion if you have really
good overlapping coverage. People like to blame WiFi for poor
scalability. No doubt it's a challenge.The operators of mobile
networks spend how much planning on cell sites in addition to being
licensed frequencies? You can achieve the same high-quality coverage
with WiFi if you put as much planning and engineering into it. But in
that case you'd probably run Avaya, perhaps Cisco Call Manager and
Spectralink.

What I would like to know, and do not understand, is the relationship
between the code in chan_skinny.c which sets up the softkeys which are
implimented and the actual key positions on the phone. With this info,
I can hack the code to impliment other of the keys (ie. speed dial,
etc.).paters

 that will give me just enough bandwidth to get it done. The computer
 network is all wireless so the phones would have all the bandwidth.


Some of the Wifi phones--at least under the relatively stable conditions
I have here--work very reliably.

I have 3 Starcom F1000s, and a) if they don't have to roam and b) they
don't have to connect dynamically to different servers, work just fine.

FYI.  YMMV.
