[cisco-voip] Jabber Softphone over WiFi

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

As long as you have all the components in place, Jabber as a desktop replacement is doable. The issue comes down to ... do you have all the components in place and/or are you ready to live without the feature a missing component gives you?

Some components are not an option, say, split view DNS and Expressway for on-prem and off-prem delivery. There's no way I've found to do that without split view DNS. We ended up having to deploy a set of delegated DNS servers for a specific discovery domain in order to deliver the off-premise and on-premise functionality.

Some components are ok to put aside... i.e. quality of service.

The other issue is features and functionality. Jabber is close, but not 100% feature parity. For example, no park on Jabber for Windows. I also just noticed, is there a way to deploy speed dials on Jabber? I'm not sure.

Just some general thoughts about that.

Has anybody tried this as an IP phone replacement strategy for a large office location?

Thanks,
Steve
