This specification does not address wireless VoIP phone sets ! Aim of the new project : Develop a specific standard for wireless VoIP handsets.

Due to small shape, wireless handset does not have same electro-acoustic features as corded phone set (e.g. Low intrinsic TCLw). Wireless handset shall operate in noisy environment (e.g. corridor, meeting room, manufacturing space). Work still in progress within TR-41 for handling this new topic : Should be discussed during the next TR-41 session.
