If you want to extend the range of a DECT basestation you can use repeaters, but you then lose DECT encryption and you can only add up to 6 repeaters around one basestation. Extending your range beyond that requires a proper DECT network and brings you into a whole new cost level. But that can go up to 256x12 handsets and 256x8 (IIRC) simultaneous calls... -- Andreas Sikkema -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] Cordless SIP phone
I have an asterisk box which has Polycom Soundpoints IP335 and IP650s registering to it both locally and remote. I want to be able to incorporate a cordless phone at the remote location; not a wireless phone. I want it to also be able to register to the same asterisk box so it can take calls and transfers. Any idea? Thanks, --E -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Cordless SIP phone
To be honest I am not sure. I was under the impression that there was a cordless SIP phone that communicated back to the base which was hardwired into the network.

Hi You're looking for SIP DECT phones. In out experience Gigaset do a very good range of these. http://gigaset.com/uk/en/cms/PageCordlessPhones.html Regards ISh On Mon, 2012-01-23 at 10:27 -0500, eherr wrote: To be honest I am not sure.

Yes, the Gigasets can do. You can have up to 3 handsets attached to one base station and you can configure it so that each handset can be a separate extension or that they call all be the same one. -- Ishfaq Malik Software Developer PackNet Ltd Office: 0161 660 3062 -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

As far as Asterisk is concerned, any SIP phone (even a POTS phone plugged into a SIP-FXS adaptor) is a SIP phone (we once had an unholy mix of Grandstream, Zultys and another make I can't remember now on our network). You just have to give it an entry in sip.conf with a default context. -- AJS Answers come *after* questions. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Yes, that describes the phones I recommended. You can buy one that is a base phone with an internal DECT base station plus wireless handsets, or a base station alone. Inexpensive and reliable, users seem to really like them. Perhaps you meant one that is not wi-fi? I would agree with that, I have a pile of totally useless wi-fi phones, they are all garbage. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Yes, both the base phones and wireless handsets have multiple SIP registrations that behave just like any other SIP endpoint. Each can work independently, even with the base phone being the DECT base. I believe that system supports six wireless phones per base, but it might be more, check the spec sheet. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Ascom has some fantastic Wi-fi phones. They are expensive, but they are the only Wi-fi phones I have tried which actually work as phones. They manage to get a signal in places where other devices give up, and if they lose signal they are quick to regain it when you get closer to the access point. The cost is a challenge in most installations; DECT often comes out cheaper even if you include SIP DECT base stations. /Benny -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Cordless SIP phone
In my neck of the woods... A Cordless Phone refers to a cordless handset with a wired base. The phone communicates with the base and can't work without it. It's usually proprietary in nature as well. A Wireless Phone usually refers to any phone communicating via 802.11. No base required. A cell phone is also sometimes referred to as a wireless phone.
