Dear List,
A client is thinking about replacing his phone systems but they do
not have any network infrastructure except telephone twisted pairs.
1. Is using a number of access point / routers good enough for VoIP?
2. Would 802.11a be better that 802.11b/g due to greater channel
separation?
3. Is there other technology that could do the job?
I think you need to determine how many machines will be on the
network, how many are likely to be on the phone at any time, and how
much other traffic there will be. (And to try to predict this over
the lifetime of the system if they expect any growth.) 802.11
carries a couple of voip channels quite happily but if you have a lot
of other traffic it may degrade badly...
