We have been deploying the Grandstream GXP2000 for well over a year, trialling
different versions of firmware along the way. We never found a version that
we considered to be reliable. You don't want to trust your business to a
telephone that could crash in the middle of a conversation, believe me.
The problem with many VoIP manufacturers is that they have an electronics and
not a telephony background. Companies which have proven track records in
telecommunications are far more likely to produce a product that is reliable
and better tailored to suit the needs of consumers, particularly in the
corporate space.
