Small hotels often face a dilemma:analog phone systems are outdated,but replacing every guest room phone with IP models is costly.Redstone’s RGW 48 Gateway solves this by bridging analog and IP networks,letting small hotels upgrade their core system without ditching existing hardware—saving time and money.
The RGW 48 is a 48-port VoIP gateway that connects analog phones(guest room phones,front desk lines)to a modern IP-PBX like Redstone’s REX 200.This means small hotels can keep their trusty analog devices while accessing IP features:mobile extensions,cloud management,and PMS integration.A 50-room B&B in Italy used the RGW 48 to connect 30 analog room phones to a REX 200,cutting hardware costs by 60%compared to a full IP overhaul.
Easy deployment is a highlight.The RGW 48 is plug-and-play,with pre-configured settings that let small hotel staff(no IT expertise needed)set it up in hours.Its compact design fits in tight equipment rooms,and the UMS platform’s user-friendly interface makes managing ports,call routing,and extensions simple.A family-run hotel in Spain reported installing the RGW 48 in under 3 hours,with zero downtime.
Reliability ensures small hotels don’t miss a call.The RGW 48 features dual network ports and power supply options,so a single network glitch won’t take down phone service.During a storm that disrupted internet at a coastal motel,the RGW 48’s PSTN fallback kept analog room phones working,letting guests call the front desk for assistance.
Scalability grows with the hotel.If a small hotel expands from 50 to 100 rooms,the RGW 48 can be paired with additional RGW 48 units or upgraded to the RGW 96(128 ports)without replacing the core IP-PBX.This flexibility lets hotels invest incrementally,avoiding overspending on unused capacity.
Integration with Redstone’s ecosystem adds value.The RGW 48 works seamlessly with the REX 200 IP-PBX and NewLync 2.0 platform,enabling features like mobile extensions for staff and call recording for training.A 70-room hotel in Portugal used this integration to let housekeepers answer room service calls on their smartphones,reducing response times by 25%.
In summary,the RGW 48 Gateway is a small hotel’s best friend,making the analog-to-IP transition affordable and hassle-free.By retaining existing phones while adding modern features,it lets small properties compete with larger chains—one call at a time.
