I've deployed/used the MBU400 in many environments and it woks really nicely. You are able to have up to 8 different phones per base with the same number of individual extensions. The range is very good, conference and transfers work according to your dial plan. You can also add an analogue line for fail over, but are limited to 4 simultaneous SIP calls. ------Original Message------ From: Liviu Toma To: 'Asterisk Users Group' ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: [on-asterisk] Need some advice on DECT IP phones Sent: 14 Apr 2011 10:21
Hello, I am looking for some advice on DECT IP phones. The company I work for is planning to swtich the current PBX to an Asterisk based PBX and IP phones. I don't like the idea of ATA+regular phone for an office environment and we need cordless phones, so I am looking at one of these: - Aastra MBU 400 (maybe with some additional MBU 420d) - Panasonic KX-TGP500 (again, maybe with some extra KX-TPA50) - Snom M3 or M9 - Siemens Gigaset A580 or SL785 - (if you have good experience with any other brand/model, please add to the list) Do you have experience with any of these in a business environment ? For example one important feature for our users is to be able to easily transfer a call to another extension, or conference another extension or external number. Also, some of them allow multiple SIP registrations and multiple handsets connected to one base. In this scenario, it would be nice if I could have 2-4 handsets/extensions sharing the same base since it would mean less network wiring, but do you know if the conference/transfer features would still work ?
