Does Your Hotel Still Need a Separate PBX Phone System?

The Question

Does every hotel still need a separate PBX phone system?

Every guest room still needs a telephone. But that does not mean every hotel needs a separate, expensive phone system.

The Traditional Way

A traditional hotel phone system usually means:

• Dedicated PBX / IP-PBX equipment
• Separate phone terminals in every room
• Additional installation and maintenance

For many small and medium-sized hotels, that is a significant investment.

A Simpler Solution

Instead of building a separate phone system, use one SIP server for the whole hotel. Then let the smart voice panel do two jobs.

Smart Room Controller

• Lighting
• Scenes
• Curtains
• Air conditioning

IP Phone

• Call the front desk
• Room-to-room communication
• Emergency calls

One panel. Two functions.

Benefits

• Lower hardware cost
• No separate phone terminals
• Uses the existing network infrastructure
• One SIP server for the whole hotel
• One panel for both smart room control and room calls

The Result

Every hotel needs room phones. But not every hotel needs a separate and expensive PBX system.

A smart voice panel that handles both room control and phone calls gives guests everything they need from one device — and saves the hotel the cost and complexity of a separate phone system.
