There are some WiFi "bridges" in the market which provide WiFi on one side and ethernet on the other. They allow the ethernet packets to backhaul over a WiFi connection. Have not actually tried this but theoretically it should work.

Theroretically. In practice however, you will have no QoS and since WiFi is half duplex and one TX all others RX (like a walkie talkie), you will experience issues when more than one set is trying to have a call.

Wireless Ip phone was designed as a phone not as wireless card for Pc or laptop, so the answer to your questions is NO.

Nortel does have the IP Phone 1535 (

which is a WiFi-enabled videophone. It is SIP and is supported on CS 1000 5.5 with a "SIP Line" configuration.
