easyHotel Lisbon: 106 PoE IP phones running on the data network

In a hotel with more than a hundred rooms, traditional telephony is a fixed cost that only grows: expensive maintenance, its own cabling and building work for every new line. easyHotel Lisbon replaced that model in 2021. With DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting, it moved to voice over IP: around 106 PoE IP phones, across 6 floors, connect the 101 rooms, reception and internal services to an IP-PBX that runs on the data network already in place. The same team manages internet, firewalls, switches and Wi-Fi. One partner, communications and infrastructure included.

Project figures

  • 101 rooms All connected to the IP-PBX.
  • Around 106 IP phones Powered by PoE, over the network cable itself.
  • 6 floors Full coverage of the building.
  • 2021 Year of implementation.

Why is voice over IP the right choice for a hotel?

Because it makes use of a network the hotel already pays for. An IP-PBX over the data network removes most of the costs of classic telephony and makes growth trivial:

  • A single point of control Rooms, reception and internal services administered centrally.
  • A single network Voice and data share the PoE infrastructure, with no cabling dedicated to telephony.
  • Modern features Call forwarding, digital voicemail and integration with other hotel systems.
  • Growth without building work A new extension is a phone plugged into a network outlet.

How was the installation carried out?

  1. Phones: around 106 PoE IP handsets installed across the 6 floors.
  2. Phone system: IP-PBX configured for communications between rooms, reception and services.
  3. Integration: connection to the existing infrastructure: switches, firewalls and internet.
  4. Fit to operations: call handling adapted to a hotel's routine.

The network and telephony teams worked in coordination throughout the building.

  • Phone system Continuous support and maintenance of the IP-PBX.
  • Wireless network Maintenance of the hotel's business Wi-Fi.
