Description
A door call should not wait on a cable pull. The Fanvil i501W is the wireless indoor station for hotel rooms, villa units, and small offices that already have Wi-Fi and a free outlet. It answers two SIP lines, opens the door from one key, and keeps the talk private on a handset. There is no screen, so this is an audio station, not a video monitor.
The Telecom Spot Take
Our customers pick the i501W when the room is finished and a new Ethernet drop is the expensive part. Fanvil lists it for communities, hotels, and villas, and the box includes the 5 V / 1 A adapter. The wired i501 is the better fit on a PoE switch. The i501W is the better fit on Wi-Fi 6, with a 10/100 port still there if you add cable later. It will need an outlet at each set.
Key Features
- Wi-Fi 6 on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) lets a room go online without a new data drop. The 10/100 port is still there for a wired LAN.
- Two SIP lines cover a door station on one line and a front desk or second door on the other.
- One-press unlock. The unlock key is set for remote door release. Management and DND keys are customizable. Management speed-dials the office by default.
- Private or hands-free talk. A magnetic handset keeps guest and resident calls private. The hands-free key switches audio to the 1 W speaker when a private handset is not needed.
- Clear speech. Full-duplex hands-free calling uses acoustic echo cancellation. Wideband G.722 and Opus keep speech clear. Narrowband codecs cover older SIP systems.
- Timed Do Not Disturb lets a hotel block rings during quiet hours and still take a call after that window.
- One short-circuit input can be set for a doorbell or other trigger. Incoming ringtones can be customized.
- Desk or wall mount. Screws and the connector ship in the box. No extra bracket to order.
- Adapter power only. The i501W does not use PoE. Use the included 5 V / 1 A adapter.
