Any idea where I would find details on this? I had a quick Google but came up empty.
I have an issue with wireless on my site as I need to try and find a relatively cheap intrinsically safe phone. The villages are all blast proof cabins, but if I install a wireless phone they can walk away with in their pocket (by accident of course) it becomes a major safety violation. I have vendors offering me solutions which are basically HP iPaqs running SIP client software, which are enclosed in very expensive explosion proof housings that would give a mule a hernia. There's also a motorola device of similar spec which they laughingly call a 'handheld' device, but compared to a normal DECT or mobile phone it's like carrying a breeze block with a handle sticking out the side. I have heard that Aastra have a very normal looking safety phone coming on the market, but they aren't making it SIP compliant for another year, for no good reason the salesman could find. Truly the manufacturers need to get their finger out on wireless IP stuff.

We bought in two or three wireless types but were not impressed with any of them, and had a problem with sticky fingered people walking off with them thinking they were Skype phones. In the end we gave up with cordless/wireless phones and went with standard Linksys phones (SPA901, 921, 922) and used Linksys WBP54G wireless adaptors. They plug into the phones RJ45 and power sockets and allow them to join the wireless network automatically. They're not very elegant, but it solved a lot of issues and still allows rapid teardown, setup and movement within the wireless environment. Kenny Mitchell INEOS Refinery Grangemouth
