Need some recommendations if you have this scenario

Customer would like one of 2 of these options for their Nortel Norstar system, users want a headset because of noise and use of hands:

A wireless headset with lifter option/add-on

Must have about 300 foot range from headset to amp/base

or

A cordless phone with a headset jack
Must have about 300 foot range.

or a handset with Bluetooth for a bluetooth headset.


Engenuis is out of the question as they do not have a headset jack

Current cordless sets are on Analog converters (ATA)

Thanks

The Plantronics CS500 XD Wireless Headset Series was designed to address wireless density issues, so that more wireless headsets can be used in the same space while maintaining clear conversations. Using 900 MHz technology, the CS500 XD Series provides up to 350 feet of range, and includes a convertible headset with a hot swappable battery (CS545-XD) for unlimited talk time.

This is of course straight out of their brochure and you would need to test if it actually reaches the 350 Ft due to obstructions that will shorten the range

The Plantronics CS500 does work well for me in an office environment where I sometimes walk just over 200 feet with it in use. No fuzz, noise or drops. The swappable battery is a great feature and can really be a lifesaver when you are on a support call and suddenly your headset starts beeping about low battery. Quickly swap the battery and never drop the call.

They are worth a try for a warehouse environment. But remember that squared or cubed metal (such as in metal racking or shelving) can significantly reduce radio wave propagation and usable distances.
