SIP cordless phone preference

[dereklindo]

Hi all,

Just looking for everyone's preference regarding IPO working with the following SIP cordless phones :

Panasonic KX-TGP500B04

SNOM M9R

SNOM M700 w M65 handsets

Yealink W52P

VTech VSP600

Those Panasonics have been discontinued and replaced with the KX-TGP600 btw, but I have used those, the 600 I mentioned and the Yealink, they all work as well as each other really

None of the above. DECT in every case is a lot better.

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.

They are DECT, they just use SIP to the base

I have another question regarding SIP cordless phones.

If you have one SIP base with one handset that would be considered one extension on the IPO.

If you have a SIP Base that can connect 6 handsets to it, can each of those handsets be a different extension on the IPO or is it still considered one IPO extension?

Thanks

You can register 6 extns, each extn would require a 3rd party endpoint licence, we do it in our warehouse with the Panasonic

Just to confirm.

I can buy one KX-TGP600 base along with say 7 additional KX-TPA60 accessory handsets (for a total of 8 handsets). Add 8x 3rd Party Endpoint licenses to the IPO. Configure 8 different extensions in the IPO. Configure 8 different users in the IPO. Program each handset with a different user.

All 8 handsets will work off one base as 8 different users. I can take one TPA60 handset (say Ext.201) and dial anther TPA60 handset (say Ext.202) and it will work?

 

[amriddle01]

Yes

No, I meant DECT going into an analog port. Like you can buy at any DIY shop upwards. SIP (a poor analog emulation) is an unnecessary problem.

Not on the end of a VPN or fibre connection it isn't, it's necessary, unless someone has found a way to pass a line cord through a network connection (if they have I want in on that)

 

[intrigrant]

That is called a ATA I believe... ( the long wire through a ethernet network )

We prefer to use Gigaset for SIP DECT as it support repeaters and to our opinion they are more solide as Panasonic ( which we sell also but only on Panasonic installs ).
The Panasonic handsets look and feel cheap...

Hi,
You can also take a look at Spectralink 8440.
They can also be deployed in IPO environment should have strong AP's to take care of large coverage need . Granted, 8440 is quite expensive but they are very durable. We are quite happy with them in the hospital.

Thanks,

But 8440 is wireless LAN and not DECT.
