Five-Star Hospitality Communications: Fanvil IP Hotel Phones and the Vodia Phone System
Published on:
May 27, 2025
Hotels today need more than luxury amenities—they need smart, reliable communication systems that enhance the guest experience and streamline operations. The combination of Vodia’s powerful VoIP PBX and Fanvil’s new IP Hotel Phones delivers exactly that: seamless in-room communication, fast response to guest requests, and integration with leading PMS. With features like programmable keys, built-in Wi-Fi, AP mode, and USB charging, Fanvil’s devices are purpose-built for hospitality, while Vodia’s system brings automation, multilingual support, and cost-efficient call handling to the table.
Travel has long been a key driver of the global economy. What started with Ancient Greek historian Herodotus setting a sandal-clad foot on the hot shores of Egypt in the 5th century BC has become a $1.9 trillion global market. In 2025 alone, according to the American Express 2025 Global Travel Trends Report, a global travel survey, 74 percent of respondents plan on taking between one and three domestic trips, with 59 percent planning between one and three international excursions.
A Massive and Growing Market
But where will all these weary travelers stay? Even with the increasing popularity of vacation home rentals, such as Airbnb and Wander, hotels worldwide continue to welcome travelers to their properties - the global hotel and resort market was $1.7 trillion in 2024.
Beyond rainfall shower heads, Egyptian cotton bedsheets, and great coffee, 21st-century travelers are looking for instant, seamless communication with the front desk, with housekeeping, with room service…today’s hotels need a communication system that responds to guest needs and requests with the press of a few buttons or a few simple voice commands.
A Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Solution for Hospitality
Vodia VoIP and AI solutions help hotels build the communication ecosystems they need to offer their guests efficient, personalized, seamless experiences. We’ve designed our phone system to help hotels streamline operations, improve staff productivity, and reduce costs. The robust feature set we make available to hotel properties includes multiple device registration (across numerous device classes), guest mailboxes, privacy, support for superior audio quality…it’s a full suite of innovative features for hotel staff, management, and guests, one that integrates with the best Property Management Systems (PMS).
Vodia and the Fanvil IP Hotel Phone
Since our inception, Vodia has interoperated with the world’s best phones. We work hand-in-hand with the development teams at phone manufacturers to ensure their phones make the widest range of functionality available to users. We’ve interoperated with Fanvil phones for years, and as vacation season approaches we’re especially excited about the new Fanvil IP Hotel Phone.
The Fanvil IP Hotel Phone is built for today’s hotels - multiple models give hotel guests features such as programmable keys, built-in Wi-Fi, and customizable faceplates:

Fanvil’s H4W and H6W function as routers with AP mode support, providing streamlined network setup without the need for additional hardware.

Many organizations rely on Microsoft as the foundation of their daily operations, but their communication systems often exist in parallel rather than in harmony. Vodia closes that gap by bringing telephony into the same environment where teams already work, turning separate systems into one connected structure. This approach removes friction between platforms, simplifies management, and gives IT teams better control and visibility over daily communication. It also creates a more seamless experience for employees, reduces operational overhead, and builds a stronger, more flexible foundation that supports growth, collaboration, and long-term scalability.
Vodia will be attending CVxExpo 2025 in Glendale, Arizona, from November 3–5. Sales Engineer Eric Altman will be on site to meet with current and prospective partners, demonstrating how Vodia’s PBX solutions can strengthen technology roadmaps for 2026. This year, Vodia highlights new integrations with ActiveCampaign, Freshdesk, HighLevel, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Presence, monday.com, and Odoo Cloud, along with enhanced call center capabilities such as agent activity dashboards, call recordings, and transcription features. Partners and attendees can schedule meetings with Eric to learn more about scalable, feature-rich, and cost-effective telecommunications solutions built for enterprises and SMBs.
Vodia Enterprise Call Analytics gives businesses comprehensive, real-time insights into every aspect of their call operations. Built natively into the PBX, it delivers live, color-coded dashboards, detailed call records, smart filtering, and exportable data. Enterprises can track key metrics such as answer rates, call volume, peak hours, talk times, and top performers, while also monitoring call quality through integrated MOS scoring. By turning call data into actionable intelligence, Vodia helps organizations optimize team productivity, improve customer experience, manage costs effectively, streamline workflows efficiently, and make smarter, data-driven decisions that contribute directly to revenue, operational performance, and long-term ROI.
