Default VoIP Handset that uses a wi-fi connection rather then wired?.

WiFi generally has too much jitter to handle voice well.


A high quality VoIP channel only needs 64 Kbps (and in reality you can
do "ok" quality in less). Jitter on a link running at many Mbps is
unlikely to have much knock effect on a single VoIP channel.

I have a client site where they run data and VoIP between two offices on
either side of a road. They are connected with a pair of directional
WiFi bridges, and IME you can't tell the difference in voice quality
when talking to someone in the office with the incoming ISDN lines
directly, or via the WiFi to the VoIP phones across the road.
