[cisco-voip] Jabber Softphone over WiFi

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I get contacts.... But for me (and many others I imagine) a speed dial is a button. One click.

But again... its just different ways of doing things.

Call Park should hopefully be there pretty eventually. It is there on mobile today. Speed dials sure those would be your contacts, or "pizza guys".

I would not deploy an office on it as the only/primary phone without knowing if my wireless network was bulletproof. Jabber works fairly well and it is not a huge hog on the medium but wireless being what it is, ymmv.

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
