New Uniquiti SIP Phones
-
Where does it state that? I haven't seen anything that suggested that from Uniquiti.
-
Oh you posted that while I was posting.
-
Their main headline item on their site says that the SDN integrates with a PBX. Those features can be external to a PBX. Some PBX vendors don't have vmail, for example.
-
Did anyone catch that since this is Android.... That that means this is the first Pertino enabled desk phone?

Thought about that, but will depend on how locked down the android part is.
I want it really locked down hard though because I do not want users to be able to add their own play store accounts to their desk phone.
-
They are advertising that Android is open so you can put whatever on it.
Hence people complaining about Angry Birds.

That sucks. It means we will be required to use 3rd party tools to lock it down.
I mean I want it open so that management can choose what should be on there. But I wish they would include a method to then lock it down.

They stated that the PHONE will work with Asterisk (and likely any other SIP based PBX).
The SDN though is a PBX in and of itself.
-
I'm not sure. Maybe the controller allows for locking it down.

edited the picture to add a second circle.
Unless this thing is going to provide unheard of (in the SMB space) 3rd party access to an Asterisk PBX, then it will be running a PBX itself.

Where did they state that the controller is a PBX? I've found nothing suggesting that it does call switching.
The SDN is the network. It stands for Software Defined Netwotk. Like Pertino is.

@JaredBusch what do you mean? Everything I've seen from them including that picture supports the no PBX functionality theory. It doesn't deny the PBX functionality but nothing has suggested that it exists either.
The VoIP port is a VLAN with preconfigured QoS. They state that.

I am reading more now. Being out all day yesterday has put me too far behind on this.
-
We've been trying to get a handle on it to be ready for release day. I'm hoping to quickly get hands on with this gear.
-
Just read the PDF Quick start guide for the UniFi Security Gateway. That VoIP port is noted as disabled and reserved for future use.
-
That's very weird. They other material suggested that they were ready to use it as a VLAN to handle controlled QoS for the SIP traffic. I wonder if that document just has that like that because it is ahead of the SIP phones release?
-
I'm curious about it - but i don't have a PBX to plug it into... I have users in 9 counties and we are expanding one of our current offices... so this could be a really nice option to go with. Just wonder how it would fit..
-
@g.jacobse no phone is useful without a PBX. How are you functioning without a PBX today? Are you paying for a 1960s Key System from the phone company?
-
You could go with a hosted PBX or Asterisk
-
many of us here could set you up with a hosted, managed on site, or configured onsite unmanaged pbx if you're interested, hawla.
