“It’s time for some disruption in the industry — and I think we are the player for that,” says Bill Hodgson, Fanvil. As Fanvil celebrates over 20 years in business, the company is gaining new momentum with a message of innovation, integration, and affordability for enterprise and service provider customers alike. At Enterprise Connect 2025, Bill Hodgson, who represents Fanvil in North America, joined Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green to highlight Fanvil’s expanding product line, global footprint, and disruptive potential in the IP communications market.

From OEM Legacy to Global Brand

For many years, Fanvil operated behind the scenes as an OEM and ODM partner, designing and manufacturing SIP telephones for leading global brands. Over the last decade, the company has moved into the spotlight with a full portfolio of enterprise-grade endpoints, including the latest V-Series of IP phones and specialty solutions tailored for security, healthcare, and hospitality environments.

A Complete, Interoperable Ecosystem

Fanvil’s strength lies in its ability to integrate traditional telephony with IoT, access control, and smart surveillance. From nurse call systems and in-room patient stations to emergency pull cords and door intercoms, Fanvil offers a seamless ecosystem — all centrally manageable through the Fanvil Device Management System.

“The innovation engine behind Fanvil is what makes it stand out,” said Hodgson. “We’re not just building phones — we’re building smart devices that fit into broader communication and safety workflows.”

V-Series: Enterprise Features at Disruptive Prices

The new V-Series includes models that range from basic lobby phones to advanced devices with 10-inch Android touchscreens, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. These models support advanced use cases such as monitoring IP cameras, offering frontline staff tools that go beyond voice.

A standout example is the A320i, a specialized device with a gooseneck microphone designed for reception and security desks — providing real-time visibility into surveillance feeds.

Global Reach, Local Growth

Already well established in Europe, South America, and Asia, Fanvil is rapidly expanding its presence in North America, aiming to attract more attention from cloud communications providers and service partners seeking cost-effective, feature-rich endpoints.

A Call to the Enterprise and Channel

Hodgson’s message at Enterprise Connect was clear: “Fanvil delivers enterprise-quality hardware with modern features at very attainable price points — all backed by global support and ongoing innovation.”
