Outdoor SIP Phone
-
Here is an odd one, but I wonder if anyone (cough cough Jared) has ever looked for an outdoor SIP phone? We've got an outdoor area that we use constantly at the office, but it would be really handy if our helpdesk line could ring out there. Right now, that's a huge pain. Going to use a wireless phone for the moment. But something more stable would be nice.

What about mounting in an outdoor rated fiberglass box that is gasketed? Like this one:
I use these all the time.
-
Physically it might work. But aesthetically I don't think that it would go over well.

Everything I have ever seen in this area is industrial. Not something I would want on the patio.
I would lean towards some kind of hinged cover that you can put up or down. as needed.
Picture a box upside down over the phone, with a hinge on one side to lift the entire box off the phone.

If it was mostly for me, I would just use a cheap waterproof tablet running the FOP2 panel in order to see who is calling and wear my DECT headset. FOP2 lets me dial calls.

Makes sense.
The box could be made aesthetically pleasing to match the area.

Paul is thinking about building something. We are just about to start a new paint and wiring project for that exact area. So the right time to be doing something.

Obviously a box in direct sun will get super hot and melt anything put inside but depending, stuff like that something along the lines of a simple cover or something else that you can fold out of the way could work

Good point on the heat. It's Texas and that gets direct sun.

I believe we were using the Cisco branded version of this at my last place of work.

doesn't engenius have one?

I know we use Viking for our door phone systems but I do not think they have a true outdoor sip phone

Yeah, outdoor speakerphones arent a popular item.
