Alex, the base is in the basement (as is the kitchen), the somelier office is on the third floor. they shuttle back and forth between the top and the bottom. the experience that i have had with the yealink w52p dect, is 20 feet in an open plan office and they start to suck. they're just crappy

I take it that DECT headsets or handsets are out of question? They would certainly have better range and quality than WiFi. On 09/08/2015 01:05 PM, Shripal Daphtary wrote: Hello All, I'm looking to implement 6-10 WIFI phones for a 3 floor restaurant using unifi AP-PRO's. i'm not sure if

Re: [VoiceOps] WiFi SIP phones recommendations
