[VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

[Faisal Imtiaz]

Hi Ernesto, 

In my opinion, trying to pick the IP Phone device for a Hotel would be the wrong way of approaching the solution. 

You need to nail down the other requirements (these features are typically grouped together under Hospitality Phone System), and in many cases there is a requirement to tie that into the Customer billing system. 

Once you nail down the backend, then you can make a decision on the handsets supported. 

Most of the Hotels we have as clients, are using Mitel phone system's (due to requirement to tie into the billing / customer management system). 

We do provide the IP/Sip PRI service to feed these phone systems. 

Best of Luck. 

Regards.
