System compatible with Companion Antennas

[Y4nN1cK]

Hi,

i've seen the notice on Nortel's website saying that Companion will soon reach End-Of-Life. I was wondering if there are any systems out there that would be compatible with Companion Antennas?

Y4,

If you are talking about the internal 'base station' then no. If you mean the external add on antennas then mabye.

Well Arr I never did answer your question about a replacement for the Companion because I lost that thread, but you might know by now allready it will be the Kirk System? one great thing is the base stations are 4 channel and are powered by those channels so no more RPI's however I think local power supply needed only for longer distance in cable lenght like we do with the sets.

Curly,

No I don't know about the Kirk system.... assuming you are not telling me that it is 'beam up' technology...

But speak on details please!

I don't know if the antenna's i'm talking about really are the "base system" but if i say i must have y or 8 of those, then they must not be all "base system" right?

 

[Arr]

No not necissarily.

Just describe the shape of what it is you are asking about and then state if all 8 are the same. If some are different, how?

Ok but just a taste as I am sworn to secrecy...
Box on the wall with 2 female amp connetors, an RJ45 and Serial port.

Amp: take station port from KSU to Kirk's station port (32 avail.)per handset.
RJ 45: For base stations (8)
Serial: For programming with laptop (only way to program via small progy)
Base stations about 5"X 5"X 1"
Handsets glossy black, small and more elegant.
