We have a customer who presently has an Ericsson BP250 system. They have about 160 users presently and want to give every user a twinned DECT phone along side thier desk phone. This is beyond the BP250.
So we need 160 Digital/Alog phones and 160 DECT.
The IP DECT will only do 120 DECT phones. The 1500 (Kirk DCU) will do 128 phones. Unless the customer decides to reduce the number of cordless then neither of these will do. I am also told Avaya are going to stop supporting the Kirk DCU 1500.
The Spectralink WiFi is something I know very little about. From reading the docs it looks like it will cope with plenty of phones but then we can only have 60 VCM channels max in the IPO (which might be enough).
The other consideration is physical position of base stations. My understanding of WiFi access points is that we can adjust the channel numbers of AP's located near each other to reduce collitions between AP's.
DECT base stations close together can cause issues.
This is a standard 7 storey office building with a large number of phones in a resonably small space. I have warned the salesman about having lots of base stations too close together and he doesn't want to listen, he just wants the sale!!!! I think we should just about get away with 11 DECT base stations in the building spread evenly over the 7 floors. Using IP DECT that is 88 calls accross the building which should be fine.
If we can reduce the number of twinned below 120 then I think I will look at the IP DECT again. Has anyone installed an IP DECT solution with so many twinned handsets with any success??
If the customer insists on 120+ phones, will the IPO and Spectralink (or other solution, sujestions welcome!!) twin that many cordless and desk phones succesfully.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly accepted.
I have also heard about a DECT system that connects via PRI QSIQ but I don't see how we can twin DECT/desk using that QSIQ.
