Hi, I usually recommend that if you are doing a big deployment, avoid the workarounds and just do the right thing. You are better off spending the money on the Cisco or any other brand of enterprise-grade voip wifi devices. 400 users also means that the wifi setup will have to be solid in order to run the voip at near-wired-quality. It will save you headache, support costs and will make your customers happy for a long time. Kind regards, Bernard On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 11:39 AM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:
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!
