Dartmouth College is converging voice, video and data onto its wireless IP campus network with equipment from Cisco Systems. Using a headset and Cisco IP SoftPhones on their Windows-based PCs students are able to place free local and long-distance calls from anywhere on campus. SoftPhones will also become available for Macs as well as Palm and Pocket PC handheld devices. The deployment will coexist with legacy wired phones and PBXs.
