Create your own cordless network with the EnGenius industrial cordless phone system. This phone combines the flexibility and features of a cordless phone with the power of a two-way radio. Plus, the EnGenius transmits at up to 900 milliwatts--about four times the power of most cordless phones--for a range in excess of 8.8 miles and the ability to penetrate up to 12 floors inside a building. This phone is ideal for communication throughout a warehouse, office building, or farm.
This EnGenius system consists of a base unit, one handset, a NiMH battery pack with 80-minute fast charger, and two AC/DC adapters. Each base unit can support up to nine handsets (sold separately), and each handset can be registered with up to four base units. The system is expandable to up to four lines with four base units and 36 handsets. Network features include hold, call transfer, call manager, and a programmable ring feature that allows you to select each handset to ring with every incoming call or only ring for transferred/intercom calls.
The EnGenius system features full-duplex capability that allows handsets to communicate with each other as two-way radios. A long antenna is included with each handset to maximize range in open areas. Independent of the base, full-duplex capability lets you talk and listen at the same time with no group chatter and with the convenience and comfort of a phone handset. Digital spread spectrum technology means the phone hops frequencies more than 200 times per second, ensuring privacy.
Other phone features include call waiting and caller ID compatibility, 30 presets for speed dialing, selectable three-level ringer volume, and six-level voice volume. The handset operates on a NiMH rechargeable battery for three hours of talk time and 40 hours of standby time. A trickle charger is included, and you can even charge the battery while a caller is on hold at the base unit.
This phone comes with a one-year warranty.

Unacceptable for home use.......2004-03-30
Junk.......2004-02-27
Great range, OK quality.......2003-02-28
Well, this phone works admirably - it has more than enough range for a large property with no fade out. The handsets are tough and feel solid (they are really meant for factory or warehouse use). Battery life hasn't been an issue for us at all - in a home you usually keep the handsets in a charging cradle when not in use anyways. Voice quality is as good as the Siemens was. And the fact that it works at 900 Mhz is a bonus since it won't interfere with my wireless Ethernet (802.11) network.
This is an update since I've had these phones for about 6 months now: They aren't perfect. When you put the phone into the cradle to recharge, you have to put it in carefully otherwise it'll look OK, but won't be recharging. Also the recharging contacts are fragile compared to other phones and in fact I have to toss out one of my SN-920's 'cause the contacts got damaged. And the microphone on another SN-920 died. Also, the phones aren't comfortable against your ear.
My ideal phone would have the SN-920's distance with better ergonomics and better recharge contacts. Unfortunately, I don't know of such a phone.
Good for distance, not for quality.......2002-08-29
EnGenius SN920 Ultra.......2001-12-14
1) supported multiple remote handsets
2) could be expanded to support multiple incoming lines
3) operated in the 900MHz band
The 900MHz band was a key issue, since I planned to install an IEEE 802.11b RF LAN, which operates in the 2.4GHz band. This ruled out any of the 2.4GHz phone systems, since they would interfere with the phone and vice-versa.
The EnGenius SN920 works fine from a technical standpoint, but there are numerous quirks about the phone, especially with regards to 'human factors' issues:
1) Voice quality is good, but not as good as a Motorola STARtac. This is surprising since the SN920 uses ADPCM digital encoding. Also, the speaker has very poor low frequency response, likely due to the small size of the phone, and is nowhere as good as a traditional corded phone.
2) A very annoying trait is that when you pick up the phone from its cradle, the caller ID info disappears! This forces you to crouch down to view the caller ID, which is inconvenient.
3) When the phone is not in its cradle, you answer it by pressing 'TALK', which is fine. Unfortunately there is no way to configure the phone to require 'TALK' to be pressed when it is picked up from its cradle, so picking up the phone that is already in a cradle versus not in a cradle is *different* and annoying. Half the time, we have to press 'TALK' twice, since you shouldn't press 'TALK' after you pick it up from a cradle. Although this sounds like a trivial nit, it really is a hassle.
4) I would not recommend this phone for older people, especially those who have arthritis. The phone is smaller and heavier than most, but it is too heavy for a moderately infirm person to hold for a long time. The buttons are also harder to push. The phone was designed this way for heavy-duty industrial environments, but it does make it difficult to use if you are 80 years old and have arthritis.
So, keep these issues in mind if you are considering this phone. From a system design standpoint, the ability to add multiple lines and handset is great, and the fact that it operates in the 900MHz is a major plus if you are planning to install a 802.11b RF LAN. (I'm surprised that cordless phone system vendors are not considering this issue more; I've talked to Apple and Siemens and they have confirmed that 2.4GHz phones and 802.11b RF LANs can and do interfere with each other.)
