Description
Need a tough, weather-proof phone that connects instantly when someone picks up the handset? The Viking K-1900-7-IP-EWP is a vandal-resistant VoIP panel phone built for outdoor or high-traffic areas. It auto-dials your programmed number (and rolls over to backups if busy or unanswered), controls gates or doors with its built-in relay, and stands up to rain, snow, and abuse thanks to its Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) that meets IP66 standards.
Powered simply by PoE, it works seamlessly with your SIP-based VoIP system. Whether you're securing a gate at an apartment complex, providing courtesy service at a kiosk, or adding emergency access at a business, this phone delivers fast, dependable communication without complicated wiring.
Our Expert Take: If your installation sees direct weather exposure or heavy public use, go with the EWP version – the extra gaskets, sealed connections, and potted boards make the difference between a phone that lasts years versus one that fails in the first storm. Highly recommended for gate entry, apartments, parking facilities, and emergency stations. We rate it 4.9/5 for durability and ease in outdoor VoIP deployments.
