Boulder, Colorado 80301


Ladies and Gentlemen:


We are counsel to SpectraLink Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and in such capacity have examined the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), being filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the offering of a maximum of 1,300,000
shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, to be issued pursuant to
the Company's Stock Option Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (collectively,
the "Plans"). We are familiar with the proceedings undertaken by the Company in
connection with the authorization, reservation and registration of the Shares.
Additionally, we have examined such questions of law and fact as we have
considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly
authorized and, upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor as contemplated by
the Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.



Very truly yours,

IRELAND, STAPLETON, PRYOR & PASCOE, P.C.
