My issue is that the powers that be were advised to go wireless, and they spent so much many moving to wireless for laptops and computers and someone certainly forgot about the IP phones. So I here have inherited this, and cannot convince that cabling works should be re-done, since the existing cabling is pathetic in the first place. At least the wireless adapter option looks like a compromise, since it will only be the VOIP service on it - anyway, I may just bite the bullet and go the cisco wireless phones route ./Ok3ch On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 3:51 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:
Bite the bullet and purchase WiFi handsets.
Right now none of your options/ideas is good enough. The WLI-TX4-G54HP is just another point of failure you are introducing.
Cabling done rightly should not be a problem either if you can stop thinking 'fancy' Wireless office:-)
You've said you are re-wiring so what is the problem boss?

Hi All,
I currently have VOIP SNOM phones all over the network and the current challenge is that I need to eliminate as much cabling as possible. The two scenarios am exploring are:
1. Buy wireless capable VOIP phones like the Cisco SPA525G2 - Downside is the costs (about USD 250 each) and then what do I do with my over 100 units of the SNOM's? In this am looking for any alternatives which have attractive costs - anyone dealing in this field. please advice.
2. Buy several units of ethernet to wireless adaptors like the Buffallo wireless ethernet converted WLI-TX4-G54HP for every 4 phones I have (close to 20 units required). I need to know if this is the best there are on the market (only 4 ports) or there are any better and cheaper devices. Am also not sure it might work, so anyone with experience please share, and anyone know where I can get one for a demo before I plunge heads first.
3. Any other solution that does not involve me cabling. Am actually rewiring an office with close to 400 people and want to eliminate as much cabling as possible.
Any thoughts are welcome!
