Hello EveryOne,
i would like ask you what are your feed-backs and experience about the use of dedicated smartphones attached only to Wifi, without any SIM card, to use them like a DECT phone with the 3CX app.
We have deployed a customer with this concept, it's a little factory, with several Wifi AP and users have smartphones only attached to Wifi,
and the solution works when the customer doesn't move fast,
i mean it's a factory and they move inside with some electrical truck pallets.
We are using Unifi Wireless system with a controller and all settings for wifi, power, band optimization, fast roaming have been applied, despite that, the user are often not reachable or disconnected when moving fastly inside the factory ( it's a big open space).
When i perform some test and walk with smartphone inside the factory, everything works fine, i am never disconnected, but when the user use it and move fast with the elecrical trunk pallets, connection is lost or poor.
Based on the information found on internet, the decision to move from an wifi AP to another one is took by the device and not by that antenna that pushes the device to a better AP, so that means i suspect that the android device is not handling the handhover correctly, or not fast enough....
We gave to one user an pure wifi phone Yealink and the behavior seams be better, but we are not sure if it's a feeling or if i'ts really better.
have someone any experience about that kind of setup?
do you think it should works, or it is definitively a bad idea to perform an install on this way?
or have you some tricks to optimize the handhover from the android smartphones?
Thanks your for your feedbacks, it will be appreciated.
