[asterisk-users] A little OT but need an opinion on Aastra 57i CT
Hello All, I have a need for a wireless solution and have been looking at the Aastra 57i CT phone that have the wireless handset with them. Aastra says they will cover "up to 300,000 square feet". I am finding this hard to accept. I was also wondering about the "secure WDCT cordless technology" Could this be a form of DECT? Any one using these that can shed some lite? Thanks. JohnM

They work fine, but will not seem to make it more than 50 or 100' from the base station. Great phone and the cordless option is just wonderful, but limited. Ira

The 57i and 480i are good wireless phones but after 100ft you are out of range (assuming business interiors). Of you still have to deal with buggy firmware....(and hit and miss tech support). -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of John Millican Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2009 3:51 PM To: Asterisk Users List Subject: [asterisk-users] A little OT but need an opinion on Aastra 57i CT Hello All, I have a need for a wireless solution and have been looking at the Aastra 57i CT phone that have the wireless handset with them.
