7 Conclusion
The SpectraLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone uses Wi-Fi technology to deliver a full-featured
mobile extension to a call server or PBX. The purpose of this document is to outline the network design
criteria for a successful VoWLAN deployment. By applying the guidelines described in this document,
networking and telephony professionals can confidently design and deploy a Polycom Wi-Fi telephony
solution.
Some of the key takeaways include:
Voice and data applications have different attributes and network requirements. Several aspects
of the WLAN infrastructure, including coverage and capacity planning, require special
considerations for voice traffic.
Reliable QoS is a requirement for any enterprise voice application. Wireless VoIP is especially
vulnerable to many WLAN processes that can affect voice quality, including wireless traffic
contention and security authentication delays. SVP is proven to deliver enterprise-grade voice
quality, battery life and call capacity for SpectraLink handsets.
Several network design attributes need to be considered before deploying a VoWLAN solution,
including the use of subnets and complex network topologies that may affect the performance of
SpectraLink handsets.
Polycom’s dedication and expertise helps ensure proper deployment for VoWLAN.
