Telephone Products

Designed and engineered in America and Europe, we offer five different product lines and over forty different models, thus creating a Teledex telephone for every hospitality application.

iPhone Series telephones combines a fresh new look with legendary Teledex quality and reliability. iPhone boasts graceful, sculpted curves that accent a comfortable, familiar user interface and suitable for virtually any type of hotel. Available in analog and VoIP, corded and cordless, iPhone telephones deliver modern, tech-inspired lines surrounding what’s inside: the industry’s most reliable, feature-rich telephone. Opal Series telephones, with its stylish Euro design, were designed and developed specifically for the international marketplace where the demand for a more stylish and smaller telephone was important. Featuring a complete line of both one and two line telephones, the Opal line of telephones are quickly becoming the new world standard. Diamond Series telephones are the most popular hotel guestroom telephone in the world. Diamond Elite telephones, first introduced in 1998, were the first phones to incorporate patent pending MPC™ technology enabling PrimeLine Select™ and RingLine Select™. These patented features automatically select the appropriate telephone line, thus eliminating the need for the guest to press an old mechanical line key to be connected. Nugget Series telephones are built to the same rigid quality standards as all the other Teledex telephones, but have a more limited feature set. These phones, with its modish Euro-style handset, are specifically designed to meet the needs of the economy minded hotelier looking for a quality alternative to the old 2500 set telephone. TrimLine Series, designed for bathrooms and other special-service areas, are built to the same exacting standards as all Teledex telephones. Available in single and two-line models.

High-Speed Internet Products

ExpressNet™/AirLink™ uses existing wiring, eliminating expensive recabling. ExpressNet™ does not require properties to install new cable infrastructure. Utilizing existing copper wires, the ExpressNet™ solution delivers dependable 1Mbps access to each endpoint. Typically, lodging properties wishing to deploy HSIA to guestrooms are required to install new cabling, at significant expenditure, in order to provide the service. Such re-cabling also tends to be disruptive to property operations during installation.

Guestroom Terminal Installs Directly to the Underside of Teledex Telephones
Using the integrated ExpressNet™ adapter, the in-room terminal easily installs directly to the underside of the majority of Teledex guestroom telephones, occupying no additional precious real estate space on the desktop, nor requiring additional equipment installation under the desk or onto the wall. The ExpressNet™ adapter places the RJ-45 Ethernet jack conveniently on the base of the telephone.
An Integrated Solution

All the components of the ExpressNet™ solution have been designed and selected to work together in harmony, providing a trouble-free service that properties are able to leverage immediately for enhanced competitive advantage. Besides providing a compact housing for a high-speed Internet access interface, the patented ExpressPort™ also provides significant software logic and intelligence that enables simplified integration to a hotel network, further streamlining the installation of broadband-enabled terminals in guest rooms. The company's ExpressNet™ AirLink™ solution family utilizes the patented ExpressPort™ adapter to house VDSL wired and wireless access points, which use existing telephone wiring (commonly referred to as CAT 2/3 cabling) to deliver broadband connections to the network endpoints. The AirLink™ system brings a combination of wired and wireless HSIA to lodging properties of all types. Rooms that are installed with an AirLink™ wireless access point get both a wired and wireless connection. These rooms typically represent approximately twenty percent (20%) of the guest rooms at any one property; all other rooms have wireless-only access. Wired rooms can be reserved on a first-come first-served basis for those who have an immediate need, such as government or corporate guests.

Plug-and-Play Guest Convenience

ExpressNet™ software provides for plug-and-play ease of use for the guest. Network Address Translation Services (NATS), part of the server side software, requires no reconfiguration of a guest’s laptop computer network settings. This makes the service attractive for the guest, as well as easy to manage for the property.

We commit the substantial resources necessary to ensure our customer service and technical support personnel are there when you need them. These dedicated professionals help make your job easier, from ordering replacement phones, to customizing your faceplate designs, to helping you handle any little issue that may crop up.
