Product selection is not cut and dry. What are your business requirements? So you need encryption? If so, what kind? Do they need support for outbound proxies? Are you going to use the same model for remote deployments? Do you need WAP capabilities? Do you need programmable speed dials? Do you need modular admin sidecars? Do you need IPSEC capabilities built into the handset? Do you need advanced/specific codec support? Do you need guaranteed interoperability with specific vendor supplied components? Are you looking for a phone for 10 people, 100 people, or 10000 people? If you are scaling, what does your provisioning system look like? Do you need phone features like video or quality speaker phone? What is your budget for phones? Do you need an RTCP capable handset? Do you need a handset that support 802.11p for QoS?
The more specific you can get about your business requirements, the better targeted your product selection will be. -------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Giudice [EMAIL PROTECTED] VoIP Security Training, LLC http://VoIPSecurityTraining.com 848 N.

I need to buy some new phones for our own offices. I've used only Polycom phones until now, but I'd like to broaden my experience. I'm trying to decide which phones to experiment with. I have these options: - A combination of Polycom, Aastra and Snom - Just Polycom One the one hand, I'd like to keep things uniform, since it greatly simplifies provisioning. On the other hand, I don't want to broaden my knowledge. Advice, anyone? -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
