Description
Running out of paging zones or tired of pulling new wires across the building? The Valcom EZ-GW1W ezIP Gateway Audio Port changes the game. This compact wall-mount unit plugs straight into your existing IP network and gives you one clean, reliable one-way paging zone exactly where you need it—whether that’s a remote warehouse bay, a new break room, or an outdoor loading dock.
It works with virtually any modern VoIP phone system in SIP mode, or you can keep things simple with Valcom’s native ezIP protocol. Either way, you get crystal-clear audio, programmable relays for doorbells or alerts, and the ability to drive up to 40 Valcom self-amplified speakers or a traditional 25/70 V amplifier. No rack space required, no complicated wiring—just smart, affordable paging extension from the team that’s been doing this longer than most.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The EZ-GW1W is one of those “set it and forget it” products.
What we love
- True wall-mount design means you can tuck it behind a speaker or in a utility closet—no 19" rack, no extra cabinet.
- PoE (802.3af Class 3) or 24 VDC option gives you installation flexibility; most jobs are single-cable now.
- Two Form C relays and a contact input open up all kinds of clever uses—trigger strobes, unlock doors during pages, or activate backup horns.
- Upgradable to full Valcom VIP functionality later if you ever want two-way talkback or scheduling.
The honest take It’s single-zone only, so if you need four or twenty-four zones today, step up to the EZ-GW24. But for that one stubborn area you’ve been trying to reach for years, the EZ-GW1W is perfect.
Pro setup tip Always use the free Valcom VIP-102B IP Solutions Setup Tool—it auto-discovers the gateway, pushes firmware, and lets you test audio before you walk away. Enable multicast on your switch for the smoothest performance with ezIP.
Bottom line: If you want professional-grade IP paging without the enterprise price tag or the headache, the EZ-GW1W is one of the smartest single-zone investments you can make. We stock it, test every unit before it ships, and stand behind it with our own 30-day satisfaction guarantee plus Valcom’s standard warranty.
