Wireless IP Phone connected via wi-fi

Fri Sep 05, 2008 5:55 pm

Hello.

Please, I want to know how meters away from base station a wireless IP Phone can take a call normally?
Let say, at the base station is a radio with high gain antenna transmitter.

It depends on IP Phone antenna as well, if it's weak you won't get link over extremely big distance.

Thank you for reply.

I know about ip phone antenna, but my question is: Do you know any wireless IP phone with high (higher than others) gain antenna?

I will appreciate your help.

I don't have such information, probably some other users have more experience.

probably most of these small devices won't work any further than 200-300 meters from the AP. yes, you need to look for phones with higher gain antennas

But, what gain do normal IP phones have (phones that works 200-300m from base station)?

Normally they are quite low-power, due to the small batteries they have. The IP phones I have tried have much shorter range than a regular laptop. The fact that you're running a time-critical application like voice over them reduces your range even more.
