Akuvox AV-R15P IP Home Phone

The Senior-Friendly IP Phone with Large Keys and SOS Function

The Akuvox AV-R15P is an IP phone specifically developed for seniors and for use in care and assisted living facilities. The intuitive user interface makes navigation simple and requires only minimal learning – ideal for users who are familiar with classic telephone technology but should benefit from modern IP functions.

Large, easy-to-read keys, hearing aid compatibility (HAC) and a dedicated SOS key ensure safety and accessibility in everyday life. Optionally, the AV-R15P can additionally be paired with up to ten wireless emergency pendants, so that an emergency call can also be triggered without direct contact with the phone.

Barrier-Free Operation in Everyday Life

The AV-R15P has been consistently tailored to the needs of older users and people with limited hearing or vision.

How the AV-R15P Is Built

The housing of the AV-R15P is deliberately designed in classic desk phone format with handset, supplemented by a clearly readable display and color-coded function keys.
