The shift from analog to all-IP hotel communication is no longer a trend—it’s a necessity.All-IP systems,which transmit voice,data,and video over a single digital network,address the shortcomings of analog infrastructure:complex wiring,high maintenance,and limited integration.Redstone’s all-IP solutions,built around its REX series IP-PBX and RGW gateways,are designed to future-proof hotels of all sizes.
All-IP communication simplifies infrastructure by consolidating networks.Unlike analog systems requiring separate lines for phones,Wi-Fi,and management tools,all-IP uses one network—reducing wiring costs by 40%or more.A 500-room hotel in London saved$30,000 on installation by adopting Redstone’s all-IP setup,as it repurposed existing Ethernet cables for both data and voice.
Scalability is effortless with all-IP.Adding new rooms,extensions,or locations requires configuring software via the UMS platform—no physical hardware changes.Redstone’s REX 8000 supports up to 10,000 rooms,making it ideal for mega-resorts.A hotel chain expanding to a new country integrated the new property into its existing all-IP system in 24 hours,avoiding downtime.
Integration with smart hotel systems is seamless.All-IP networks connect with IoT devices(smart thermostats,keyless locks),PMS,and AI tools.When a guest uses their room phone to adjust the temperature,the request travels over the IP network to the smart thermostat—no extra wiring.Redstone’s integration with smart devices at the Red Sea Resort reduced energy costs by 15%,as systems communicated to avoid waste.
Reliability is enhanced with redundancy.All-IP systems by Redstone use dual-network ports,power supplies,and cloud-edge fallback.If the primary network fails,the system switches to a backup,ensuring calls and data flow uninterrupted.A luxury hotel in Dubai experienced a network outage during peak hours;Redstone’s all-IP system maintained service via 4G fallback,avoiding guest complaints.
Guest experiences are elevated through all-IP features.“One-number multi-terminals”let guests answer calls on their room phone,tablet,or mobile.Video phones in suites enable face-to-face calls with staff,adding a personal touch.At the W Hotel UAE,all-IP video phones in premium rooms increased guest satisfaction scores by 18%.
Staff efficiency gets a boost.All-IP enables mobile extensions,video conferencing,and instant messaging via NewLync 2.0.Housekeeping can receive real-time room status updates on their phones,while managers hold virtual meetings with off-site teams.A hotel using Redstone’s all-IP system reported a 25%faster response time to guest requests.
Cost savings extend to maintenance.All-IP systems are managed remotely via the UMS platform,reducing on-site IT visits.A 300-room hotel cut annual maintenance costs by$12,000 after switching from analog to Redstone’s all-IP solution.
In summary,all-IP hotel communication by Redstone is the foundation of a smart,efficient,and guest-centric property.By unifying networks,enabling integration,and ensuring scalability,it prepares hotels for the future of hospitality—where connectivity and personalization are key.
