Why not have the ATA in the same room as the conference phone? I did this for a client. The ATA is bolted to the underside of the conference table and plugs into the ethernet switch (also bolted to the underside of the conference table), and a simple RJ11 patch cable runs up to the legacy Polycom conference phone. > > For wifi phone, I tried Linksys iPhone.

I still don't get the market for this kind of phone. DECT cordless phones can be had for $20 with very long battery life and range, and if the base is plugged into an ATA you have your wireless SIP phone.
