Description
Tired of push-button entry phones that spread germs and wear out in bad weather? The Viking E-32TF-IP-EWP changes the game with a simple wave of your hand to start a hands-free call.
This rugged SIP VoIP entry phone delivers crystal-clear communication over your existing network using Power over Ethernet (PoE). Built with Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) to handle rain, snow, and condensation, it’s ideal for outdoor gates, parking ramps, medical facilities, lobbies, and public access points.
Just wave 1–4 inches over the motion sensor, and it dials up to five programmable numbers while the bright LED guides you—blue when idle, flashing green while dialing, and solid green when connected. A built-in 2-amp relay lets you unlock doors or gates right from the call. No more “push-to-talk” hassle—VoIP makes it naturally hands-free.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The touch-free motion sensor isn’t just a gimmick—it genuinely reduces contact in high-traffic spots like hospitals, stadiums, and office lobbies. We’ve seen facilities cut cleaning time and improve hygiene ratings after switching.
The EWP version stands out in outdoor or humid environments. Viking seals the electronics with gaskets, gel-filled connectors, and potted boards so it keeps working through Midwest winters or Texas summers (–40°F to 140°F). Automatic Noise Canceling keeps voices clear even next to busy roads or parking lots.
Setup is straightforward for anyone comfortable with SIP devices. You can program it from a phone, PC, or remotely. The included polling software makes monitoring easy, and network firmware updates keep it current without site visits.
Our take: If you need reliable, low-maintenance access communication that’s future-proof and sanitary, this is one of the smartest choices in Viking’s lineup. It’s not the cheapest option, but the durability and touch-free feature pay for themselves quickly in reduced service calls and happier users.
