Hi Everyone.

I have a customer looking to deploy about 20 Grandstream GXP2140 phones. Normally they would deploy Yealink brand phones but they want a phone with gigabit pass through and the Yealinks with gigabit are too expensive for their budget.

Does anyone on the list have experience with the GXP2140? Is it a reliable phone? Does anyone have recommendations for other phones with gigabit pass through?

Regards,

Patrick.

  • I’d be generally careful with the second ethernet connection. One should look at the chipset of the phone. I had pretty bad experiences with somewhat older TI based phones, regardless of the manufacturer. The problems became apparent in mixed environments, where some connections were gigabit and others not. It can be a nightmare, if you have to offer support.

    The best bet is to buy one, and check the performance of the connections. I use some GrandStream products myself and the product quality is now much better compared to a couple of years ago.

  • I’m working with GXP2130. About 12 phone on gigabit with PC after phone. With Vlans on CISCO switch is stable and not so difficult. This configuration running without problems since July 2013.

  • Hi

    If you are going to use only a phone, it’s fine, but if you are going to install a lot of grandstream’s phones, probably you network traffic is going to increase a lot.

  • We use a lot of GXP21x phones. We have had issues with the GXP-2140 when using the side car as BLF’s. The device becomes sluggish after about 45
    days of operation a reboot solves the issues. This has been reported but not resolved as of yet.. If you are not using the side car the issue does not seem to pop up.. We just put the latest firmware on the phone but it does not say it fixes the issue so we are not expecting it to..

    If you don’t need the side car they are a good phone.

    Thanks
