Fanvil: Three Ways to Upgrade Hotel Communications

Written by Streakwave | Nov 4, 2026, 10:17:19 PM

Upgrading hotel communications starts with understanding what is already in place. Some properties have Ethernet or Wi-Fi suitable for IP phones. Others depend on existing two-wire cabling or want to keep their analog room phones while moving toward an IP phone system.

Fanvil’s hotel communication portfolio addresses all three scenarios with hotel IP phones, two-wire solutions, and FXS voice gateways. Each offers a different path to modernization, helping hotels plan around their infrastructure and upgrade priorities.

Hotel IP Phones for Better Guest Service

For hotels with suitable Ethernet or Wi-Fi infrastructure, Fanvil’s H Series hotel phones provide a direct path to IP communications in guest rooms.

Dedicated hotel phones, service buttons, and customizable designs help make in-room communication convenient for guests. Whether someone needs to contact reception or request assistance, an accessible room phone gives them a straightforward way to reach hotel staff.

For properties updating guest rooms or planning a new installation, hotel IP phones offer an opportunity to make communication part of the overall guest experience.

Upgrade to IP Using Existing Two-Wire Cabling

Installing new network cables can be a challenge in an existing hotel. Fanvil’s two-wire solutions provide an upgrade option for properties where rewiring is difficult. The approach reuses existing two-wire cabling to support an upgrade to IP phones without installing new network cables.

For hotels evaluating an IP upgrade, the existing wiring is an important starting point. A two-wire solution can provide a practical route forward when replacing cabling would complicate the project.

Keep Analog Room Phones During a Phased Migration

A move toward IP communications does not always require replacing every room phone at once. Fanvil’s GA10 and GA100 Series FXS gateways connect existing analog phones to a SIP PBX, allowing hotels to retain those phones as part of a phased IP migration.

This gives hotels another way to plan an upgrade: retain existing analog endpoints while introducing IP connectivity through a gateway.

Choose the Right Path for Your Property

Whether the priority is improving in-room service, working with existing wiring, or retaining analog phones, Fanvil offers several ways to take the next step.
