Phontech
The Phontech brand originated in 1987 in Norway, located in the same place as the Zenitel company that was then still called Vingtor Marine. Phontech started from 1987 to focus on internal communication for on board ships and offshore platforms. Especially in the offshore, the Phontech brand name developed rapidly. In the North Sea, Phontech eventually became a leading player with specially developed PA systems and intercom.
Integration Phontech in Zenitel Group
Phontech started as an independent company in 1987 and became part of the Jotron Group 10 years later. At the end of 2018, Phontech was taken over by the Zenitel Group. The range of Phontech naturally has the necessary similarities with the product range of Vingtor-Stentofon. For that reason, after systems from both brands will continue to co-exist for some time, choices will be made with regard to which specific product line will be retained or further developed for the future.
Retrofit two-wire telephone system
Phontech supplies a maritime telephone system based on 2-wire technology (2 address per device to be connected), whereby integration with PA-GA is also possible. This basis can be particularly interesting when an existing telephone system on board is due for replacement or expansion. It is not uncommon for the existing system to be based on 2-wire technology, so that the existing cabling can be used unchanged. We are happy to inform you about the possibilities of a replacement or extension of the existing telephone system on board.
