Programing iphone on CUCM

Adam-USA — Tue, 08 Feb 2022 21:45:29 GMT

Hi,

We are a big company looking to use around 2000 iPhone's as a wireless connection inside the company.

Does anyone know a good company and it has experience to help us implement that?

Thank you

Yes, 2000 Apple iPhones. I know many companies using iPhones for inside network communication.

Ok, so the Apple iPhones download the WebEx app and they make calls (voice or video) using this app (wireless or 3G/4G/5G).

Is that what is required?

Voice over WLAN is really hard; you’re going to want this: https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/8-6/Enterprise_Best_Practices_for_iOS_devices_and_Mac_computers_on_Cisco_Wireless_LAN.pdf

If your building/campus has solid cellular coverage, or an in-building DAS, You may also want to discuss Webex Go with your partner or Cisco account teams. They are just gearing up for Early afield Trial/Beta now.

We don't have good DAS coverage inside the building.
We want to see if we can use iPhones on our wireless Infrastructure and registered on the CUCM, to make calls and use AP's, instead of buying Cisco phones and iPads.

Thank you

Contact your Cisco AM/SE/PSS. This is a major implementation.

This will need a top-down review, redesign and upgrade of the network -- From LAN/WAN to wireless and to unified communications.
