Default WiFi bridging reliable solution for business VoIP?

Hello all,

I am experienced in networking, but new to WiFi and VoIP. In a previous
posting about WiFi bridging equipment, someone pointed out that all
WiFi technologies are half-duplex and _may_ cause issues with VoIP.

I am researching equipment for a wireless bridge between two buildings
and narrowed my choices down to the Proxim Trunami 5054 or the Cisco
Aironet 1310G bridges. One pair of these bridges will be dedicated to
VoIP traffic, which will have to carry a maximum of 5 simultaneous
phone conversations. The lowest aggregate throughput for these
solutions is 23 Mbps.

Will the half-duplex nature of WiFi cause quality problems for VoIP? If
yes, are there other wireless solutions more appropriate for this
setup? Thanks in advance.

Charlie
