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.

Good point. But I bet even with enterprise grade stuff, 400 end points will never get that quality. The interference will just be horrible. Muriithi

It will save you headache, support costs and will make your customers happy for a long time.

Kind regards, Bernard

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!

Who has or knows where I can get the above drivers..... The internet is not helping and the Mecer support page has dumped many numbered folders which I cannot relate with my laptop model.

Please help
