ᐅ Landline Telephone Options in New Construction – What Are the Possibilities?

Hello everyone,
I am reaching out to you with a topic that I unfortunately don’t fully understand:
It concerns a single-family house with three floors (basement, ground floor, upper floor). A fiber optic connection from the telecom provider has been installed in the basement.
Conduits for Access Points have already been planned on all floors.
My idea was to use a FritzBox in the basement as the central router and Ubiquiti PoE Access Points.
This is a purely private connection, and basic telephony should be possible throughout the entire house without any complicated features.
My questions are:
I am not clear whether it’s possible to make calls throughout the house using DECT phones routed via the Access Points?
Or are AVM WLAN phones the simplest solution?
What would you suggest as a state-of-the-art and clean setup?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

@MBPassion ...
I originally planned to use the Fritzbox as the router and for DECT, with a UniFi access point upstairs.
Now the question is: Can I basically use the Speedport as a slave, just forwarding to the Fritzbox and work only with the Fritzbox?
I’m worried it might get too complicated with multiple manufacturers involved.
Or what options do I have?
Regards
KingJulien Yes 😉
As far as I know, the Speedport only uses the wired DSL part for telephony on hybrid connections anyway. But regardless: you simply connect the Fritzbox to the Speedport (which establishes the internet connection). You can then enter phone numbers (only) in the Fritzbox and implement things exactly as described by @MBPassion above. This way, you could even set up a guest network that does not have access to your internal network (in addition to the AVM guest Wi-Fi).
However, that means you have three manufacturers involved: Telekom, AVM, and Ubiquiti with UniFi. How do you plan to run the Wi-Fi access point (UniFi Controller)?

How exactly am I supposed to run it? 😀The controller doesn’t need to run all the time. It’s enough to configure it initially via a PC or Mac.
If you want it to run continuously, you can either buy a compatible Unifi product (Cloudkey, Dream Machine Pro) or run the controller in a Docker container on a server within your network. I do the latter on a Synology NAS as well.
KingJulien14 Feb 2021 20:00Oh, this is getting quite complicated again.
Are there significant disadvantages to not having the controller running continuously?
In other words, can you just set it up on the PC and then let it run?
In the medium term, I plan to set up a NAS anyway. I’m also still considering whether to log the heating via the ISG from Stiebel Eltron or to use a Raspberry Pi with FHEM. That (Pi or NAS) could then also be used as a controller?
That, however, is the advanced part; first, I have to take care of the basics.
Although I think the Wi-Fi on the upper floor would initially be fine with the Fritzbox on the ground floor, we don’t need luxury there, plus there’s a wooden beam ceiling. Unless I really can’t manage it :p
