Many historic and luxury hotels retain classic neon-lit guest room phones for their timeless aesthetic.These phones rely on high-voltage message waiting indicators(MWI)—often 120V—to light up when guests have messages.Upgrading to modern communication systems without losing this charm is a challenge,but Redstone’s high-voltage MWI solutions make it possible.
Redstone’s MWI modules support 120V neon bulbs,compatible with legacy phones that define a hotel’s brand.Unlike generic IP-PBX systems that only handle low-voltage MWI(20V),Redstone’s REX series IP-PBX integrates high-voltage modules,letting hotels keep their iconic phones while upgrading to IP.A historic hotel in London preserved its 1920s-style neon phones using this feature,delighting regular guests who value the property’s heritage.
Flexible voltage options accommodate diverse legacy systems.Redstone’s solutions support 80V(standard),120V(high-voltage),and even hybrid modes(high-voltage+DTMF)for phones with unique requirements.A luxury hotel in Paris with mixed 80V and 120V phones used this flexibility to upgrade without replacing any hardware,saving$50,000.
Seamless integration with modern features.High-voltage MWI works with Redstone’s other tools:when a guest gets a voicemail,the IP-PBX triggers the neon light via the high-voltage module,while also sending a notification to their in-room TV(if desired).A resort in Italy used this to blend old and new—classic neon lights for messages,paired with digital alerts for tech-savvy guests.
Reliability matches the phones’durability.Redstone’s high-voltage modules are built to last,with surge protection to prevent damage from voltage spikes.A hotel with 100-year-old phones in New Orleans reported zero MWI failures in 3 years,even during storm-related power fluctuations.
Cost savings vs.replacement.Retaining legacy phones with Redstone’s MWI solutions costs 70%less than replacing them with“modern replicas”that lack authenticity.A historic boutique hotel in Boston avoided$30,000 in new phone costs by upgrading its system while keeping original hardware.
In summary,Redstone’s high-voltage MWI solutions let hotels have it all:classic aesthetics and modern communication.By supporting legacy neon phones,they preserve brand identity while unlocking IP features—proving that progress doesn’t have to mean sacrificing heritage.
