You could also opt to purchase a few $25 poe injectors for the few phones that are required to have power all of the time and feed that from your UPS.
The cost difference for Poe switch vs non is 400$.... over 48 phones that’s less tha $10 ea
Let’s move on from POE
But that's way more than wall warts typically. And the comparison is not against a normal switch, but against no switch. You don't need any switching at all beyond what you already have unless you go PoE, right?
That is not right. I'm 50% or more laptops. So I would need at least another 30 ports, but probably more like 40 ports to include phones in random locations.
Where you don't have ports today?
It's not that you are laptops. I think you are trying to imply that your laptops are wireless?
I may or may not have a wire there - but I definitely don't have a switch port connected to those wires. I replaced switches a while ago and didn't buy more than I needed for the APs, Printers, and Desktops.
yes the laptops are 100% wireless.
I see. Wherever we have a large amount of laptops, we wire them up for performance and stability.
My users have shown that when they have to manage plugs on a daily basis, they damage them regularly. We're lucky we don't have more issues with power connectors.
So eliminate the responsibility of having to plug things in.
Get a softphone and have people start using that wholesale.
huh? not sure where this came from?
today users move from station to station, only plugging in their power brick to power their laptops. They just use the phone at the desk they are sitting at that time.
They move laptops around instead of having stations to sign into?
Yes - because roaming profiles suck!
The alternative would be RDS or VDI, but that just makes the expense even higher.Why do people need their desktop profiles in a clinic? What would make that even come up?
They need printers mapped, they need outlook setup.
I know printers can be mapped from GPO - i'm doing that now. But outlook requires the typical next next next finish to setup - I plan to move to OWA for most this year.
many people use sticky notes -
I suppose you'd lock them down more. hmm. we are about to start a refresh... Changing our setup could possibly happen.
One reason we have laptops is to keep the - they broke it, not me problem we used to have. With assigned devices that problem almost all but went away.
I would take away Outlook. That's just people taking a situation that works, really well, and messing it up to an incredible degree. Move them to OWA and ta da.... total mobility to go anywhere, do anything, no need for lugging laptops around and being all ridiculous. That's costly, slow, cumbersome, and a lot of wasted time.
I wouldn't do that in my house. I get it, the doctors don't think that the workers do anything or have value and don't see the "business" on par with a nice house, but still, it's a ridiculous situation.
Imagine going to your doctor and then carrying in a laptop that they lug everywhere and have to plug in. Imagine how foolish that looks to the customers.
You wan to rant on this, again, split it out. It has nothign to do with the phones and wiring.
Yeah i don't know how we got here either.

I was responding to this comment. It didn't start from me, or you. Both of us responded to Dustin's topic.
