Flyingvoice is a global high-tech enterprise specializing in IP phones, POTS replacement solutions, and 5G fixed wireless access solutions with research hubs in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen.
FlyingVoice (Flyingvoice Network Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese manufacturer specialising in VoIP terminal products, POTS replacement solutions, and 5G FWA devices. Founded in 2007 with R&D centres in Beijing, Shenzhen, and Shanghai, plus manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen and Vietnam, the company produces a comprehensive range of SIP phones, ATA gateways, VoIP routers, and industrial networking products. FlyingVoice has carved out a niche as a cost-effective alternative to larger IP phone brands, with products certified for compatibility with major platforms including 3CX, Yeastar, Asterisk, and BroadWorks. In South Africa, FlyingVoice products are distributed through Hardware Distribution (Fourways, Johannesburg), offering telecoms resellers access to competitively priced endpoints and POTS replacement solutions suited to the local market’s transition from legacy copper to VoIP infrastructure.
FlyingVoice (formally Flyingvoice Network Technology Co., Ltd.) is a global high-tech enterprise established in 2007, specialising in network communication terminal products. The company focuses on three core product areas: IP telephony (SIP phones across entry-level to executive tiers), POTS replacement solutions (ATA gateways and VoIP routers that enable legacy analogue devices to work on IP networks), and 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) products for next-generation broadband connectivity.
With research facilities in Beijing, Shenzhen, and Shanghai, and manufacturing operations in both Shenzhen and Vietnam, FlyingVoice maintains control over the full product development lifecycle from design through production. The company’s dual-manufacturing footprint provides supply chain resilience and competitive production costs, enabling aggressive pricing without compromising on build quality. FlyingVoice has built partnerships with service providers, system integrators, and distributors across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas.
For South African telecoms resellers, FlyingVoice addresses two distinct market opportunities. First, the company’s IP phone range offers a budget-friendly endpoint option for price-sensitive deployments where per-seat costs are critical — common in South African SME, call centre, and high-volume rollout scenarios. Second, and perhaps more strategically, FlyingVoice’s POTS replacement solutions are directly relevant to South Africa’s ongoing transition from Telkom’s ageing copper network to fibre and VoIP-based connectivity.
As legacy PSTN infrastructure is decommissioned across South Africa, businesses with analogue fax machines, alarm systems, lift phones, and legacy PBX equipment need ATA gateways and VoIP routers to bridge the gap. FlyingVoice’s purpose-built POTS replacement products — including ATA gateways with FXS ports and 4G/5G industrial routers — provide exactly this capability, creating a recurring deployment opportunity for resellers managing customer migrations from copper to IP-based communications.
The FlyingVoice P Series is designed for professional office environments. The P11W is an entry-level Wi-Fi IP phone supporting 2 SIP accounts with 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi and HD voice codecs including G.722 and Opus. The P22P is a mid-range widescreen business phone, while the P23G offers 8 SIP lines, a 2.8-inch IPS colour display, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE support, and USB 2.0 connectivity — making it suitable for power users and receptionists handling multiple lines.
The FIP Series represents FlyingVoice’s advanced phone range. The FIP11C is a basic business colour screen phone with 3 SIP accounts and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. The FIP13G steps up to 4 lines with a 2.8-inch colour screen, dual Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, and integrated PoE and Wi-Fi. The flagship FIP15G Plus features a quad-core processor and 4.3-inch IPS touchscreen display for an intuitive user experience. The FIP16 is a portable cordless IP phone with a 4,000mAh battery providing 12 hours of standby and 10 hours of talk time — ideal for warehouse, retail, and mobile worker deployments.
FlyingVoice’s Analogue Telephone Adapter (ATA) range enables legacy analogue devices — including fax machines, alarm panels, franking machines, and traditional phones — to operate over IP networks. These compact devices convert analogue voice signals to SIP, bridging the gap between legacy equipment and modern VoIP infrastructure. Multiple FXS port configurations accommodate different deployment scales, from single-line home offices to multi-line business installations.
FlyingVoice VoIP routers combine internet routing with integrated SIP functionality, providing an all-in-one solution for small businesses transitioning from PSTN to VoIP. These devices include built-in FXS ports for analogue phone connectivity, Wi-Fi access point capabilities, and WAN/LAN routing — reducing the equipment footprint and simplifying installations for resellers.
The industrial router range supports 4G LTE and 5G connectivity for fixed wireless access deployments, remote sites, and backup connectivity scenarios. These ruggedised devices are designed for harsh environments including outdoor cabinets, industrial facilities, and remote locations where wired broadband is unavailable. The 5G FWA products are positioned for next-generation broadband delivery, relevant to South African ISPs and WISPs expanding their service footprints.
FlyingVoice also produces SIP-based intercom devices for door entry and building communication, along with accessories including expansion modules and headset adapters. The intercom range integrates with IP PBX systems, enabling centralised door access management through the existing phone infrastructure.
FlyingVoice was founded in 2007, giving it over 18 years of experience in VoIP terminal product design and manufacturing. The company has evolved from a focused IP phone manufacturer into a diversified communications endpoint provider, adding POTS replacement solutions, industrial routers, and 5G FWA products to its portfolio as market demands have shifted. Key milestones include the establishment of R&D centres in three Chinese cities, expansion of manufacturing to Vietnam for supply chain diversification, the launch of the Shanghai office, and recognition with industry awards including the CTIFORUM 2020 Editors’ Choice Award.
FlyingVoice differentiates itself through several strategic advantages. The company’s focus on Wi-Fi-enabled IP phones is distinctive — most FlyingVoice desk phones include integrated Wi-Fi as standard, eliminating the need for Ethernet cabling to each desk. This is particularly valuable in South African deployments where network cabling infrastructure may be limited or where retrofit installations in older buildings make new cable runs impractical.
The POTS replacement product line is another key differentiator. While most IP phone manufacturers focus exclusively on SIP endpoints, FlyingVoice has built a comprehensive portfolio of ATA gateways and VoIP routers specifically designed for the analogue-to-IP transition. This positions the company at the intersection of legacy infrastructure sunsetting and modern VoIP deployment — a transition actively underway in South Africa and across the African continent.
FlyingVoice’s competitive pricing, driven by in-house manufacturing in China and Vietnam, enables resellers to offer professional-grade VoIP solutions at price points accessible to the cost-sensitive South African SME market.
FlyingVoice has established a presence in the South African market through Hardware Distribution, based in Fourways, Johannesburg. Hardware Distribution serves as the local distributor for FlyingVoice products, providing reseller pricing, stock availability, and technical support. The distributor works closely with telecoms resellers and integrators to support FlyingVoice deployments across South Africa.
In the South African context, FlyingVoice’s product range addresses several pressing market needs. The Wi-Fi-enabled IP phone range suits the growing number of businesses adopting wireless-first office designs. The POTS replacement solutions are increasingly relevant as Telkom continues to rationalise copper infrastructure, forcing businesses to migrate analogue services to IP alternatives. The 4G/5G industrial router range serves South African ISPs and enterprises requiring cellular backup or primary connectivity for remote sites.
FlyingVoice operates a global partner programme with distributor and reseller tiers. In South Africa, resellers typically engage through Hardware Distribution rather than directly with FlyingVoice. The ideal FlyingVoice reseller is a telecoms integrator, ISP, or IT solutions provider with experience in VoIP deployments, though the products’ ease of installation also makes them suitable for resellers building their IP telephony practice.
Partners benefit from competitive distributor pricing through Hardware Distribution, access to FlyingVoice’s technical documentation and firmware updates, auto-provisioning support for major PBX platforms, and pre-sales technical guidance. FlyingVoice’s product range is designed for straightforward deployment, with web-based management interfaces and compatibility with standard SIP platforms, reducing the technical barrier for reseller installations.
