The WiSIP phone supports WEP 128 encryption. Not sure if it supports WPA encryption, but that'd be your best bet. I'd use maximum encryption, and separate your AP from your regular network. Just plug an AP into another Ethernet card on your Asterisk server. The phones only need to talk to the Asterisk server, no internet access or anything else. So even if somebody spent the time it'd take to break the encryption, they don't get internet or access to workstation or servers or anything.

Requirements are these phone need to be equals to the "wired" devices, i.e. dedicated buttons for hold, transfer, etc. , e.g. not an ATA connected analog phone cordless phone. Was thinking of using 802.11b SIP phones (etc), but this opens up all the security concerns of 802.11 and the network. Do any of these phone support VPNs? Have to isolate the WLAN from the LAN. If not is there a SIP (or any other Asterisk channel) device that is a "cordless phone". Some things like combining an ATA w/a cordless phone? But as one device with all the "digital" features? Thanks!
