Voice over WLAN Mobile IP Touch Design Guide R2.0
6. Quotes & Orders
Unfortunately, the quotation process for the MIPT VoWLAN R2.0 solution is not fully automated within
ACTIS as many of Alcatel-Lucent's other voice technologies. For this reason, engineers are strongly
encouraged to complete the framework of the target VoWLAN design prior to beginning the ACTIS
process. All hardware components must be manually selected from the VoWLAN SERVERS and IP MOBILE
SETS menus (within Mobility Others page.) Only the Mobile IP Sets licenses are ordered through ACTIS
menu inputs.
Design engineers should pay special attention during the quotation process to insure that necessary items
are not accidentally omitted. For instance, an MIPT subscriber is not complete with a terminal, battery,
charging stand, charging stand power plug, and some form of clothing attachment. Each of these items
must be selected separately within ACTIS (or in bundle package combination.) Additionally, special
attention should be given to the completeness of SVP Server components (to ensure Rack Kit, Console
Cables, and power cords are included.)
Infrastructure items are no less attention demanding. Design engineers should pay special attention to
power cords, uplinks options, and mounting hardware.
Since Wi-Fi networks are constantly evolving environments, Alcatel-Lucent recommends that customers
seriously consider the deployment of Access Points capable of supporting IEEE 802.11a as well as IEEE
802.11b/g. Alcatel-Lucent also recommends that a measurable portion of Access Points deployed within
the framework of most solutions be capable of supporting external antenna connection. The nominal
increases in cost that these options may bring to a solution should be viewed as very inexpensive
insurance against unforeseen future needs.
