Think about having a phone system in your house or business that was also the intercom system. When I was younger I remember a friends house had a intercom system that was built in that worked everywhere. If you wanted to get a hold of someone just press a button, even had a phone patch. Even though that later might not be perfectly useful, it was a nice touch. Now that Cisco has all the good stuff from the early 2000s you can get it pretty cheap on ebay. So if you wanted a whole house phone/intercom system, this is the project for you too. THe problem with this system now is that cell phones on WIFI have pretty much eliminated the need for this system. But it will still be neat to figure out how to do it. The system I want would have the following: A backhaul server that can take normal VOIP or POTS to the aggregated system. Call forwarding 3 way calling hold music on hold transfer to another phone Research so far: Things to research: Call Manager ATA hardware VOIP phones WIFI VOIP phones DECT VOIP phones Cisco Hardware: ATA adapters: VG224, VG248(cheaper) ATA 186,187,188 SPA8000 8 port VOIP phones: 2960 |
