The Aastra MBU 400, and snom m3 are both white labeled RTX phones that handle up to 8 phones per base station. I've only used them in small office environments, so I'm not sure about repeater setup and call handoff between stations. They work fine, very light, though not ruggedized. The Aastra has a slimmer chassis and one of those fancy Y socket belt clips, the snom m3 is more the size of an old-school Nokia
snom m9 is different firmware, but it still feels like RTX hardware. The Panasonic I have sitting here, but haven't tried it out yet. Feels more like a cordless home phone Siemens gigaset's I haven't seen yet.
