Used the Snom M9 Wifi DECT phones, they work like charm. SIPDroid on Android phones work good too, however latency is going to be nightmare for u in softphone n wifi kinda scenario. Use good quality Access Points like Ruckus Wireless. Mitul On May 7, 2012 1:55 PM, Bart Coninckx

Hi, thx! The Snom M9 does not look like a Wifi phone however, nor is it a smarthpone. In order to use that I would have to use access points that can handle both Wifi and DECT. Astraa seems to have (an expensive) one. SIPDroid crossed my mind. You say they work OK but the latency is

Yeah well Snom M9 is a Wifi DECT Phone (it creates its own 2.4Ghz Frequency which is understood only between Base Station n M9 Units, It works just like your standard Chordless phones) difference being that the Base station is SIP enabled. SIP Droid is great to work with, it solves most of the

Benny, very useful, thank you. So, in short, at this stage it's best to go DECT for wireless and if DECT and Wifi need to be combined (because both types of devices exist in the organization), it's preferable to go to access points that offer both networks. Correct? thx, BC On 05/07/12

What about phones like the Unidata WPU-7800 ( http://www.udcsystems.com/product/wpu7800.php) ? Does anyone have experience with those? Would these also suffer from connection losses? thx, BC On 05/07/12 10:57, Benny Amorsen wrote: Bart Coninckxbart.conin...@telenet.be writes: has anyone

Well in that case, you might seriously want to look @ M9 they are cost effective n definitely work. Most of these cell phone type looking phones have a serious battery drainage problem. Smartphones really have a long way to understand how to preserve battery and deliver one thing (i.e. calls)

The phone I pointed to is a WiFi phone, the M9 is a DECT phone. Different animal. The question is regarding using WiFi as the WiFi infrastructure is already in place. I understand smartphones is not a good option, but what about these WiFi SIP phones? thx! B. On 05/07/12 12:21, Mitul
