Latest Protalk door entry news

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

Snom UC edition

Lync LogoUC = Unified Communications.

So the Snom300 and Snom821 UC editions are now `qualified for use with Microsoft Lync 2010`.

snom UC600Snom have also launched the UC600. A USB phone which is `optimized for Microsoft Lync`.

For full details on the announcement, see the full UC release.

If you want to place an order, contact your account manager at ProVu.

The main USP of the Snom UC edition phones is that they are a phone for Lync but also a full open standards SIP phone. This gives a few options:

  • Deploy SIP now, and upgrade to UC with Lync in the future
  • Use SIP for voice, but use Snom UC for presence. This shadow system is a very good way to migrate.

So buy the Snom UC edition to have a phone which is both a stand alone SIP phone and a UC phone for Lync. Protect your investment by buying open standards.

Phihong Midspan Explanation

Are the PhiHong Midspan units basically a switch/hub such that you can put them between a router and a set of phones? Or are they just power injection units essentially amalgamating 8, 16 or 24 channels where you have an in/out for each cable from the router on it’s way to the phone? Or something else….?

They are not a switch. They do nothing with the data. You still need a switch port to connect each power port to.

For each powered port they have an in and out socket.

in = data only to connect to the switch or router.
out = power and data to connect to IP phone or other Poe device.

When you are using the 8,16 or 24 port version you would usually need a set of short patch cables to connect all the in ports to the switch.

So why not just buy a POE switch?

1) Size. The spans aren’t very deep so will fit in most networking cabinets. Many POE switches are full depth devices

2) to power an existing switch. If you have made an investment in switches, you can add power without throwing away. For many high end managed switches, separate power can be cheaper than a powered switch to the same specification.

3) if you just want to power some ports.
