Compatibility & Buying Information
The Fanvil A308i is an Android console IP phone intended for higher-density call handling, intercom, video, broadcast, and programmable DSS applications. It provides 20 SIP lines and up to 116 virtual DSS keys, making it better suited to console-style workflows than a conventional lower-line-count desk phone.
The A308i runs Android 9.0 and supports compatible third-party Android applications. Application compatibility depends on the requirements of the individual application, the phone's Android environment, and the deployed firmware, so buyers requiring a specific third-party application should confirm compatibility before deployment.
The phone supports dual Gigabit Ethernet, integrated PoE, and built-in 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz Wi-Fi. It can also be powered by a 12V DC / 1A external adapter; however, Fanvil identifies the external power adapter as optional, so it should not be assumed to be included with every A308i.
The A308i includes an adjustable 5MP camera for SIP video applications and a removable gooseneck microphone for console-style voice pickup. Video calling, conferencing, BLF, call parking, and other server-dependent functions require compatible SIP platform support and configuration.
