Voip without Internet

[Hamish McPanji]

Is there out of the box solutions for this ? And just add additional extras ?
I wonder what happened to village telco.

I would use a yeastar PBX, and ata's or VoIP phones

Outdoor p2mp . There is no other way you will achieve that type of range. Unless you stand on the roof with your device

But you still don't need a *router* ?

You don't need one, but access points at least. And the smart way is to have a router nating/firewalled at each house/building.

You don't need the PBX - the ATA's or IP phones can establish a call to each other directly.

You can also use tin cans and strings. Not how I would do it either though.

I'm just answering the OPs question.

It would be overkill for a small community network to overcomplicate things. Most long distance wifi AP's can establish the point to point connection and act as an AP simultaneously and most can provide basic firewalling as necessary.

No need to be facetious. They're looking for a simple phone network not a local PSTN.

So explain how one would dial from one phone to the other?

IP Address dialing? Manual dial or just create a directory entry and manually enter H323 format or SIP format.

IP address dialing? I thought you said simple

You add a directory entry/speed dial on each phone for the other 4 people. Sip:[email protected] is not exactly complicated.

This will all depend on the solution, the scope? A PBX system can be used to implement a traditional telephone-like system, but you can do standard VoIP with Mumble and Teamspeak on your own network and still implement a directory through privileges and rooms.

It depends on your needs and why you would want to stay in communication without the need to utilise internet or Telkom so to speak.

Like I said. It is for a rural farm setting. So a few houses that want communication between them using voice/messaging.
There network coverage of any kind.

Wouldn’t walkie talkies be better?

Even Bluetooth headsets depending on distances.

At the moment they are using walkie talkies. But it's not secure. And the communication is open.
