Yealink Wireless IP Phones - RyanL - 08-17-2019 11:44 AM

Hi Yealink Community

We are a SME focused ITSP based in South Africa.

www.unitedtelecoms.net

I wanted to enquire is there a wireless Yealink Deskphone ? Samsung PABX Division was developing something along these lines with native integration into a proprietary Access Point, meaning a large office could run fully wireless.

With Hosted Phone System deployments we do, being able to install a handful of AP's and connect to wireless Deskphones would reduce costs and speed up installs massively.

Is this available, in development or under consideration ?

All the best

Ryan

Hello Ryan,

Yealink do have several desk-phones having a USB-port.
Phones having an "S" behind the model type number.
E.g. four models (SIP T48S - SIP T46S - SIP T42S - SIP T41S) at the following web-page:

Solution for WiFi.
You can plug-in a WiFi dongle to this USB-port, and the desk-phone is fully wireless.
(At least if you don’t count the power adapter itself).
This solution is how I do use the desk-phone itself.

Best option for it is the more new double WiFi AC band - WF50 dongle:

(There is also a single WiFi band 2.4 Ghz Dongle - WF40 < HERE > ).

How to set the WiFi credentials in the most easy way, see:

Other solution for using wireless, is by “DECT” solution.
Using the same mentioned “S” models (by USB port), and use of a DECT-dongle DD10K:

In combination to connect by a W60B base station:
https://www.yealink.com/products_102.html

You can set-up to 8 (eight) handsets or desk-phones. to one DECT base station.
The advantage is that just one VOIP SIP- account can be used for connecting to 8 phones.
Disadvantage is the more simple phone book (no “division” field).

Using the WiFi dongle it is more versatile setting-up the phones IMO.
Specially if you are using the more dedicated desk-phones as e.g. SIP T46S and SIP T48S
I should not recommend a “DECT” wireless solution.
Keep in mind although you have to use a separate SIP-number (can be an “internal” SIP-number), for each desk-phone.

Yealink T5X series has you covered here. Recently launched models include T53W, T54W and T57W all with 802.11AC wifi and Bluetooth built in. You can add dongles to existing T4X series phones, but if you're doing a new deployment I would just go with the T5 phones mentioned above.

You still have to manage your AP deployment but with deskphones things like roaming between APs typically isn't an issue so most modern wireless networks will be up to the task.
