With the huge amount of interest we are seeing in our IP Door Entry systems we are pleased to bring you this dedicated product update with news on:

  • New models,
  • A low cost bundled solution,
  • Plus how to get your PBX or hosted service fully tested and approved for working with our IP Door entry systems.

New Slim IP Door Entry system with Integrated RFID reader




This new Slim IP Door entry model features an in-built RFID reader that enables authorised personnel to gain access to a building or office by simply presenting an RFID tag or card up to the unit.

It is a really neat all in one system that eliminates the need for every one to have to speak with some one on the inside in order to gain access to the building.

Of course normal visitors will simply press the single button below the RFID reader and speak with a receptionist or other person within the building. They can then allow visitors access in the normal way by tapping the default release code into their IP phone.

Use the snom one mini PBX for a low cost IP door Entry bundled solution



By combining the new snom one mini PBX with our range of IP Door Entry systems we are now able to offer a extremely competitive low cost bundled solution.

The snom SoHo PBX has a trade price of just £155 and is supplied complete with the snom ONE PBX software with up to 10 extensions.

This bundle is ideal for those installations where a small phone system is required purely to route calls from the door entry system to IP phones or PCs. However being a fully featured business class PBX it will also provide the flexibility to route calls to other locations and or iPads or smart phones.

The snom SoHo PBX is compatible with all our Slim IP Cityline and Skyline range of IP Door Entry systems

IP Door Entry Interop Testing


Over the last 12 months we have been running extensive Interop testing with many of the leading SIP PBX systems and Hosted Telephony platforms. You can view all the systems and service providers that we have currently approved below:

Algo Loud RingerProVu Communications has launched a new alerter product, the Algo 8180 SIP Audio Alerter that increases the ringing volume of SIP telephone systems for variable noise environments such as warehouses or factories. The device also auto answers for voice paging or full intercom systems.

Darren Garland, Managing Director of ProVu Communications, said: "The 8180 is typically eight times louder than a telephone speaker. This may seem ear piercing, but its SoundSure technology automatically adjusts the ring and paging volume to compensate for background ambient noise, therefore will only ring as loud as it needs to be heard."

The product is equipped with a high efficiency integrated amplifier and tuned high quality loud speaker. The 8180 device is supplied to customers with several audio files pre-loaded to its internal memory for ringing sounds, but users are able to custom the system with personal audio files, music, sound effects or voice announcements.

Ian Godfrey, Sales Director of ProVu Communications, said: "The 8180 has been a hit with our resellers. It fills a gap in the market when our hosted or IP PBX resellers are looking to replace a more traditional telecoms solution where an existing loud ringer may have been in place. It takes them into opportunities that previously were not open to them."
