Hello All,
I'm looking to implement 6-10 WIFI phones for a 3 floor restaurant using unifi AP-PRO's. i'm not sure if they are using zero handoff on the AP's, but i'm sure they can implement, if they need to.
I'm presuming you need to be able to use any handset on any floor of the restaurant. And uou really need 10 phones. Then you are just into the bottom end of needing an enterprise DECT system. I would use something like the: - gigaset N720 - panasonic KX-UDS124UK - RTX RTX 8630/8660 (which is the same as the snom roaming dect) These are all roaming dect systems. You are going to have to do some site survey work to get the distance between the bases correct. In Dect, the bases have to see each other over the air to synchronize timing. I've never really found a wifi (as in wireless lan) combination which is good enough for handoff. unifi zero handoff doesn't really work well. Maybe with cisco APs and cisco phones, but I haven't really tried that.
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good (and simple) SIP Wifi hadsets. we wanted to use a yealink w52, but because the repeaters only support one base, it wont work for this implementation.
Difference between a dect base designed for SME, and a dect base for enterprise. If you only want 6 handsets. And only need 4 calls. And 2 of the phone calls will always be in range of the base station. And all phone on 4 SIP accounts (so 2 handsets share a SIP account with another handset) You could use: Gigaset N510IP (supports 4 calls, and 6 handsets) RTX Pro repeaters. (up to 6 repeaters). The repeaters can do repeater to repeater links. But really makesure you understand the limitations of this setup. You can't put 6 SIP accounts into a ring group on your PBX, because only the first 4 will ring (because the base can only do 4 calls) Also be aware that gigaset have different variants (read, limits on how many calls) for each country. So double check. *********** And one more option would be: Panasonic KX-TGP600 http://business.panasonic.co.uk/communication-solutions/PBX-SIP/business-SIP... This supports 8 handsets and 8 calls. And support repeaters. So for an 8 handset solution, this might fit really well. There is also a KX-TPA65 This is a dect desk phone. I know that one of the problems is restaurants is people stealing the handsets. We've had a lot of customers turn down dect solutions because worried the handsets will walk off. If you use the deskphone and screw to the desk, it won't move. And you still get the easy installation without having to run a cat5. I think the Panasonic probably best for you, if 8 handsets are enough. (sorry, that's a long email) Tim
