Wireless headset for VoIP? Vincent Delporte 11-21-2006

Hi

A friend of mine would like to use VoIP applications like Skype or
X-Lite without being stuck in front of her computer. She wants
something that would let her get further than the Bluetooth solutions
typically alow (typically 6-10 feet, which is not far enough).

Anybody knows of a solution? Some kind of DECT-based USB key?

Thank you.

I don't have the answer but I get more than 6-10 feet out of my bt
headset. It is a Motorola Hxxx series if that helps.

Thanks for the pointer. The 6-10 feet thing is what I read in sales
brochures, hence my looking at a longer-range solution.

So you got a H500 and the PC850 USB add-on to use Skype wirelessly?

There are some Skype enabled DECT phones, Olympia is one make I recall.
If she has got a router with ethernet port then an SIP based VoIP is better
solution. Just get an ATA and any DECT phone, and it will work without the
computer being on or even connected.

Martin

Mmm... So it would look like this: router -> ATA -> DECT base with
RJ11 -> DECT headset. Looks like an interesting alternative to
Motorola's ear-plug + USB combo at $99, but it's probably more
expensive too.
