Linksys has announced yet another edition to its SPA (Service Provider Authorized) Line-up... The new Linksys WIP310 WiFi phone bolsters a few new features that will surely bring value to our service provider offering. The new Linksys WIP310 Wireless-G IP Phone operates in the 2.4GHz band, supports 802.11b/g and the latest VoIP SIP protocols. The large, full-color high resolution display features an intuitive user interface enabling users to easily and quickly configure the handset with network access using WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).
WPS Defined:
WiFi Protected Setup WPS is an extremely fast, secure method of connecting the WIP310 Wireless-G IP Phone with any standards based Wireless-G broadband router. Just press the WPS button and your connection will automatically be configured and secured with a custom SSID using powerful WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption. Within seconds you have successfully set up a secure connection. NICE!
Linksys WIP310 Features:
- Low-Cost High Quality VoIP Calls over a WiFi Network
- Easy, Secure Setup on WiFi Networks with industry-standard WPS
- Superior Range and Performance with 802.11g
- Quick Provisioning capabilities for mass-scale Service Provider activation
More on the Linksys WIP310:
The WIP310 uses the same Linksys provisioning methods presently available when deploying other Linksys VoIP Phones on a massive scale. Customers purchasing VoIP services or using a local IP PBX like Asterisk can quickly provision the Linksys WIP310 via a WiFi connection where their configuration profile is received securely right to the handset using TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS.
Linksys Sizes up the competition with the WIP310:
The included telephone base is a nice added feature- With products like the new Snom M3 end-users are given a base that keeps the phone getting beat up while on your desk while at the same time providing charge to the battery. The Linksys WIP310 also supports many features such as caller ID, call forwarding, call transfer, 3-way conferencing and can store 200 records in its phonebook.
