Celina Independent School District
SIP-DECT
Situation
Celina recently installed an Asterisk-based
telephone system creating an IP-based net-
work throughout the district. In total, there
are 140 desktop SIP telephones installed on
the network. After making the decision to
add a wireless component, they set out to
find a system with three main prerequisites
in mind; the solution would need to integrate
with their current network easily, it must be
secure, and, roaming capabilities with total
coverage in all campus locations throughout
the district would be the critical factors.
The Solution
Celina installed an Aastra SIP-DECT™ solu-
tion comprised of; 20 DECT Handsets, 16 RFP
Access Points and an OMM (Open Mobility
Manager) system management component.
Bill Harris and his team took less than 2 days
to deploy the solution which included the
installation of 16 Access Points throughout
the district, and, the successful integration of
the system into their existing Asterisk-based
IP LAN network. “We were very pleased with
how smooth the installation went” said Bill.
“System configuration via the web based in-
terface was very easy, and we were up and
running in no time at all.”
The Results
Celina now has a tightly integrated, secure
and scaleable wireless solution that employs
the latest in DECT technology. With seamless
roaming coverage throughout the district,
key faculty members now have access to
all the features of a desktop system on their
DECT handsets, and can remain in constant
touch no matter where they go on campus.
Furthermore, with the installation of their
own mobility solution, Celina has been able
to significantly reduce their monthly cellular
charges.
Flexibility now and for the future
The Aastra SIP-DECT™ solution is completely
flexible and can easily keep pace with the
growth that Celina is currently experiencing,
and any future expansion. Additional DECT
handsets and Access Points can be added
to their present system as required ensuring
that they always have a mobility solution for
anyone on staff that requires it.
