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.
