The Snom M500 DECT IP base station is the core of Snom’s M500 wireless system, giving small and midsize businesses cable-free mobility and shared-line call handling without giving up SIP features or security. Pair it with Snom M-series DECT handsets and desk phones to cover offices, retail spaces, restaurants and light industrial environments with reliable voice. The dual-cell design lets you run the M500 as a single-cell system or link a second base for more coverage and capacity. In a single-cell installation you can register up to 10 handsets with up to 8 narrowband or 4 wideband calls. In a dual-cell installation (two linked M500 bases) you can register up to 16 handsets with up to 16 narrowband or 8 wideband calls, giving busy teams room to grow. Built on standards-based SIP, the M500 supports up to 48 SIP identities / accounts and works with a wide range of IP-PBX and hosted VoIP platforms, including popular solutions such as 3CX and other SIP-compatible systems. It supports DECT encryption, TLS/SRTP, over-the-air updates and zero-touch provisioning for clean, repeatable deployments. Please note: Since the M500 can be powered via PoE, the power adapter is not included Key highlights Dual-cell DECT system – operate as a single base or link two M500 bases for additional coverage and call capacity. Capacity options – single-cell: up to 10 handsets and 8 narrowband / 4 wideband calls; dual-cell: up to 16 handsets and 16 narrowband / 8 wideband calls. Shared call emulation (KeyLine) – shared line behavior so multiple users can see, answer, hold and pick up calls on the same lines. M-series endpoints – works with Snom M55/M56 handsets and M58 DECT desk phones to build a mix of cordless and desk-style endpoints. SIP integration – supports up to 48 SIP identities / accounts, integrating with standards-based IP-PBX and hosted VoIP services. Simple provisioning – web UI, zero-touch options and remote firmware updates for low-touch rollouts. When combined with Snom M-series handsets and desk phones, the M500 gives you a flexible, SIP-based wireless phone system that is easier to deploy than traditional wiring, while still aligning with Snom’s 3-year advance replacement warranty on phones and DECT solutions when purchased through authorized partners.
