The SpectraLink e340/h340/i640 Wireless Telephone uses Wi-Fi technology to deliver a full-featured mobile
extension to a call server or PBX. The purpose of this document is to outline the network design criteria for a
successful VoWLAN deployment. By applying the guidelines described in this document, networking and telephony
professionals can confidently design and deploy a Polycom Wi-Fi telephony solution.
Some of the key takeaways include:
