Hi All,
I have been tasked to deal with adding an integrated IP dect system to our 28 site cluster. I'll go through what I'm looking to achieve shortly, but I was wondering if any of you guys had tried to implement anything similar, or what you think of the idea in general.
We have a 28 site cluster (8000+ users spread across the UK, includes Media and Queuing GW's), and are looking to roll out an IP Dect solution. We don't really want to use Mitel's IP dect offering, we're not happing with the handsets amonst the reasons why. What we would also like to do is use the same Cisco basestations we use for our wireless data network. Finally, we'd like to be able to use the IP Dect handsets on any site, so if you register at one site, the registration is complete at all sites.
I have installed many Mitel systems, but being honest, my IP dect knowledge is pretty poor. I've been looking for info on the Mitel wireless gateways (thought it'd be as good as place as any to start with) on MOL and edocs, but I can't find much documentation at all.
Has anyone ever done anything similar? If so, what dect solution did you use? Was it supported by Mitel? What are the handsets like? Can they be twinned with desk phones? What licenses were required?
Oh, the sites are a mixture of CX-II's and MXe III's, running MCD 4.2 and MCD 5.0.
Thanks!
