Panasonic Wireless SIP DECT Phone Compatible with NCP and TDE Systems

Panasonic has released a series of wireless phones that are SIP standard.  The models are the Panasonic KX-TGP500 and KX-TGP550 with the add on handsets KX-TPA50. 

We have previously discussed the features and benefits of these phones.  We have now test and discovered that these model phones are compatible with the Panasonic KX-NCP500, KX-NCP1000, KX-TDE100, KX-TDE200 and KX-TDE600 Phone Systems. 

The Panasonic IP Phone Systems require the installation DSP Module, either the 16 channel KX-TDE0110 or 64 Channel KX-TDE0111, with SIP extension licenses activated in the system.  The 4 channel DSP module (KX-NCP1104) and the KX-TDA50G IP Phone System are not compatible with SIP Extensions and therefore you cannot use the KX-TGP Phones on either.  The amount SIP extensions that you may install are dependent upon which Panasonic Phone System you are using.  The Panasonic NCP500 Phone System can have up to 32 SIP extensions and the NCP1000 can have up to 64 SIP Extensions.  While any of the TDE Telephone Systems can have up to 128 SIP Extensions. 

SIP Extension licenses can be used for the KX-TGP Models of phones as well as many other types of SIP Phones, such as X-Lite softphone, Aastra or Polycom SIP Telephones, or Polycom Soundstation IP conference phones.
