Fanvil IP Phones: Professional Communication for Every Desk

Switching from traditional analog or ISDN telephony to Voice over IP (VoIP) offers enormous advantages: cost savings, greater flexibility, and a multitude of functions. Fanvil IP phones are the perfect endpoints for this modern communication world. They use the open SIP standard (a network protocol for real-time communication) and offer the right model for every need. It doesn't matter whether you simply need a reliable basic phone for standard telephony, more powerful devices with many convenience features, or a representative video phone for the executive office – you will find what you are looking for at Fanvil.

The Fanvil Phone Series at a Glance:

What to look for when choosing your Fanvil IP Phone:

• Number of SIP Accounts/Lines: How many different phone numbers or simultaneous calls should the phone be able to manage? For a standard workstation, 2 to 4 SIP accounts are often sufficient, while attendant consoles or manager phones might need more.
• Display: Do you only need a simple display of phone numbers (monochrome display), or would you like a color display for a better overview of contacts, call lists, and functions? A large touchscreen (as in the V-Series) offers the highest ease of use and often enables additional applications.
• Audio Quality: Look for support for HD audio codecs like G.722 or (even better) Opus for the clearest and most natural voice transmission possible. If you sometimes want to speak hands-free, look for features like a speakerphone function. Alternatively, check for a headset connection option (RJ9 jack, USB, Bluetooth, EHS support).
• Network Connection & PoE: Do you have a Gigabit network (1000 Mbit/s) in the office? Then the phone should have Gigabit Ethernet ports so you can connect your PC to the phone without slowing down the speed. Power over Ethernet (PoE) can also be very practical, as the phone then draws its power directly from the connected network cable, and no separate power supply is necessary.
• Programmable Keys (DSS/BLF): Do you need speed dial keys for frequently called numbers, for quick activation of functions, or to see the busy status of colleagues? In this case, DSS and BLF keys are the answer. The number of these keys varies greatly depending on the model. High-end models often even have a second display just for these function keys.
• Wireless Options:  Should the phone be able to be set up flexibly without a network cable? Then WLAN functionality should be available. Do you want to pair a Bluetooth headset or your smartphone? In any case, check whether these interfaces are integrated or if an optional USB dongle can be retrofitted.
• Video Telephony: If you regularly want to make video calls directly from your desk phone, you need a model with an integrated camera. Models from the Fanvil V-Series are the ideal choice here.
• Compatibility: Even if Fanvil relies on the open SIP standard, it is always advisable to briefly check whether the desired model is officially supported by your telephone system to ensure the smooth functioning of all features. Are you unsure? Our experts will be happy to help!

Fanvil Door Stations & Intercoms: Secure Access, Clear Communication

Modern buildings also require modern solutions for door communication and access control. Fanvil offers a wide range of smart, IP-based video and audio intercoms that seamlessly integrate into your network and communication infrastructure. Forget separate bell wires – everything runs over your network. With Fanvil door stations, you not only see and speak with visitors before opening the door, but you can also conveniently control access using various methods – be it by card, code, app, or even facial recognition.

Fanvil Intercom Solutions at a Glance:

What to look for in Fanvil Intercoms & Access Systems:

• Video necessary? Consider whether pure audio communication is sufficient or if you absolutely want to see visitors. Video integration significantly increases security.
• Desired access methods: What type of door opening do you or your users prefer? Should only authorized persons enter via card/PIN, or do you also want to grant access to guests via app or phone call?
• Number of call buttons / residential units: Do you need a station for a single-family home (one button) or for a multi-party house or office building with multiple buttons or a digital phonebook?
• Indoor station required? Do you want to install dedicated monitors in the building to answer calls and open the door, or should this be done exclusively via existing IP phones or mobile apps?
• Installation location & environmental protection: Will the door station be surface-mounted or flush-mounted? Is it exposed to direct weather? Pay attention to the appropriate protection rating (IPxx for water/dust, IKxx for impact resistance).
• Integration and Compatibility: Check if the door station can be easily integrated into your existing IP phone system (PBX) or cloud telephony service. Is connection to other systems (video surveillance via ONVIF, alarm system) desired?

Fanvil Gateways & Special Devices: Building Bridges, Making Announcements

In addition to classic endpoints, Fanvil also offers solutions for more specialized tasks in the IP communication world. These primarily include VoIP gateways, which act as translators between old and new technologies, as well as devices for network-based announcements (paging). These products enable a smooth migration of existing infrastructures or the implementation of efficient information systems via the network.

Special Solutions from Fanvil:

What to look for in Fanvil Gateways & Special Devices?

• Interface Type and Number: For gateways, it is crucial how many FXS ports (for analog phones/fax) or FXO ports (for old PBX) you need. Count your existing devices/lines accurately.
• SIP Compatibility: Ensure that the gateway or paging device is compatible with your IP phone system or VoIP provider and supports the required codecs (e.g., G.711 for fax over FXS).
• Performance & Features of Gateways: Pay attention to whether you need advanced routing functions, failover options (for FXO), special fax support (T.38), or a high number of concurrent calls.
• Network & Power Supply (Paging/Speakers): Are the speakers or paging adapters powered via PoE? How are they integrated into the network and configured? Are there options for zone announcements or schedules?
