I’ve got a client we deployed a couple dozen S705’s. The client is a warehouse with most of the phones in their office portion, and a few in the warehouse. They heavily use walkie talkies to communicate.
I’ve observed their radios frequently interfere with the Sangoma Phones and cause all kinds of strange behavior. It frequently causes false button presses, like placing calls on hold, or enabling DND among other unwanted behavior.
I’m 100% certain the radios are the cause. Phones are powered by POE. Obviously asking the client not to use their radios isn’t going to fly. Tomorrow I’m going to put some Digium phones out there to see if the behavior persists. It did not happen with their old Merlin system FWIW.
I thought about adding ferrite cores around the patch cables, but am unclear if the patch cable itself is acting as the antenna here or if the phone itself is just accepting the interference (as FCC mandates they do) because the radios are frequently only a few feet away from the phones.
Anyone run into this, or have ideas on how to address it short of replacing the phones with a different brand?
