WLAN, Bluetooth, or DECT Support

Wireless technology is pervasive and influences everyone's lives. IP phones can and will take advantage of this development. Bluetooth headsets are now a standard feature on most mid- to high-end IP phones and are no longer an "exotic" extra.The widespread deployment of wireless local-area network (WLAN) (802.11x) access points in the enterprise will give rise to more WLAN, or Wi-Fi, phones. This is a challenge for the fixed-line IP phone. To date, however, this has not been proven to be true, as WLAN phones struggle to achieve the high level of quality of service (QoS) in a network phone as well as compete with mobile phones that work within and outside the enterprise.DECT is extremely robust, low-cost, and stable with strong benchmarks in standby times and reach. Adding VoIP to this makes it a very interesting argument for making IP phones mobile or integrating a base station into the phone to work with existing handsets.
