Following up on the previous post Jim Kander,\u00a0North American Sales Manager for the Polycom KIRK line,\u00a0joins us\u00a0this time to talk about implementing a wireless, DECT\u00a0VoIP solution.<\/p>\n

VoIP Designers, Make It Work!<\/h2>\n

VoIP Supply:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Tim Gunn is famous for telling Project Runway designers to “make it work.”\u00a0 <\/em>We hope VoIP integrators don’t have to face the same time pressures and brutally honest judges.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jim, what is everything\u00a0our readers need to have or buy to make a wireless, DECT\u00a0VoIP solution work?<\/em><\/p>\n

James Kander, Polycom:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>There are four basic wireless VoIP solution components:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 <\/strong>First are the wireless handsets, which are used to transmit and receive voice and data communication. The handsets transmit information to special wireless infrastructure<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 <\/strong>Infrastructure which includes KIRK Wireless Servers, base stations, and optional repeaters. In turn, the wireless infrastructure connects with the enterprise or hosted PBX or call control platform.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>\u00a0 There are also applications that drive greater productivity for mobile workers. Examples of applications include specific alarms and text messaging. This is all enabled through our open application programming interfaces.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong>\u00a0 Finally, various optional accessories, including charging and carrying devices are available to maximize the functionality of the KIRK DECT solution.<\/p>\n

Learn From My Mistakes<\/h2>\n

Coming up in the third and last installment are best practices for installation and\u00a0advice\u00a0on things you need to make sure you do and\u00a0things you should be sure to avoid.<\/p>\n
