Fanvil C400 IP Phone

Fanvil C400 IP Phone

A modern office deserves a phone that does more than ring. The Fanvil C400 brings a genuinely capable 7-inch touchscreen and full Android 4.2 operating system to business telephony, transforming the humble desk phone into a smart communication hub capable of running third-party apps, handling video calls, and managing enterprise-grade security features that a traditional analog handset simply cannot match.

This is Fanvil’s Android-powered smart IP phone, built for businesses that want their desk phone to function as a genuine communication and productivity device, not just a dial tone.

A 7-Inch Capacitive Touchscreen Running Android

At the heart of the C400 is a 7-inch, 800×480 capacitive touchscreen running Android 4.2, giving users an intuitive, smartphone-like interface directly on their desk phone. This isn’t a basic LCD display showing call status — it’s a genuine touchscreen computing platform capable of supporting third-party communication apps, extending the phone’s capability well beyond traditional voice calling into unified communication territory.

HDMI Output for Video Calls and Presentations

With a full-size HDMI Type A port, the C400 can output directly to an external monitor or display, making it genuinely useful for video conferencing setups in small meeting rooms or executive offices where a larger screen improves the call experience beyond what the phone’s own display can offer.

Enterprise-Grade Network Security and Management

The C400 supports a comprehensive suite of security protocols including SIP SRTP for encrypted voice traffic, VPN support via L2TP, PPTP, and IPSec, MD5 authentication, and AES-encrypted configuration file downloads — genuinely enterprise-appropriate security for businesses that can’t afford unsecured voice communications, particularly in regulated industries or organizations handling sensitive client conversations.

Comprehensive Provisioning for IT Deployment at Scale

Supporting Auto-Provisioning via DHCP option, PnP, or phone flash, alongside TR-069 remote management and encrypted configuration deployment, the C400 is built for IT departments deploying multiple units across an office or organization, not just a single desk. Automatic upgrades and centralized configuration management remove the manual deployment burden that a large phone rollout would otherwise demand.

PoE Support for Simplified Installation

With 802.3af Power over Ethernet support, the C400 can draw both power and network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter at every desk and genuinely simplifying installation across an office, particularly in environments where a properly powered PoE switch infrastructure is already in place.

WAN and LAN Ports for Flexible Network Integration

Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports — one WAN port for network connectivity and one LAN port for connecting a PC — allow the C400 to sit inline between a desk’s network drop and an employee’s computer, simplifying cable management without requiring a separate network switch at every workstation.

Expandable Storage and USB Connectivity

An SD card slot supporting up to 32GB TF cards, alongside a USB 2.0 port, gives the C400 genuine expandability for local storage needs and peripheral connectivity — useful for firmware updates via U Disk or SD card, or connecting accessories that extend the phone’s functionality.

Quad-Core Processing for Smooth Android Performance

Powered by a Freescale quad-core 1GHz processor with 1GB of DDR3 RAM and 4GB of flash storage, the C400 has genuine computing headroom to run its Android interface and third-party applications smoothly, rather than feeling sluggish under the weight of a full operating system on limited hardware.

Low Power Consumption for Efficient All-Day Operation

Drawing just 2.5W at idle and 5W when active, the C400 is genuinely efficient for a device running continuously throughout a business day, keeping the operational cost of deploying multiple units across an office genuinely modest.

VLAN and QoS Support for Reliable Voice Quality

Support for VLAN tagging and QoS protocols including 802.1p/q and DSCP ensures voice traffic can be properly prioritized on a business network, protecting call quality from being degraded by other network traffic sharing the same infrastructure.

The Practical Case for an Android-Powered Smart IP Phone

For businesses that view their desk phone as more than a dial tone — wanting video call capability, third-party app support, and genuine unified communication functionality — the C400 delivers a fundamentally different category of device than a traditional IP handset, at a price point that remains accessible for business deployment across multiple desks.
