Grandstream GAC2570 Wi-Fi 6 Conference Phone

The Grandstream GAC2570 is an enterprise conference phone built around a 7-inch 1280×800 IPS touchscreen and Android 10, aimed at boardrooms and larger meeting spaces that need more than a fixed wired phone can offer. A rechargeable 3300mAh battery rated for 4 hours of talktime lets the unit run untethered during a meeting or be carried between rooms, while dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) and Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+ give it two independent ways onto the network — useful in offices where a boardroom’s network drop is shared with other equipment or where the phone needs to move between spaces on different days. Twelve omnidirectional microphones with MMAD processing and a native 5-metre pickup radius are built for a larger table than a compact unit can cover, and the phone can host up to 12 parties in a single conference, enough for a full department review or a multi-site call with several participants dialling in from different offices. Grandstream lists the GAC2570 as Zoom Certified, relevant for any Saudi office standardised on Zoom for its external meetings. For a facilities or IT manager weighing conference phones for an executive or large meeting room, the GAC2570 is the specification to reach for when the room needs touchscreen call management, wireless flexibility, or coverage beyond a single small table.

What the Grandstream GAC2570 Does in Practice

The 7-inch touchscreen runs the conference interface directly on Android 10, letting a meeting host manage an active call, mute individual lines or bring in additional participants from the screen rather than a remote control or a paired laptop. Audio is handled by a 10-watt speaker covering 100 Hz to 20,000 Hz, delivering 83 dBA measured at one metre — wide-band output suited to filling a larger room evenly rather than concentrating volume near the unit. The twelve-microphone array covers a 5-metre radius from the phone by default, and where a room’s table extends beyond that, the optional GMD1208 extension microphone can be cascaded up to two units to stretch pickup out to 20 metres, letting the same base unit serve rooms of different sizes without swapping hardware. Codec support spans G.722, G.722.1c and G.726-32 wideband options alongside G.711, iLBC, Opus and G.729A/B, so the phone negotiates HD audio on IP-to-IP calls and steps down cleanly on calls that touch the PSTN. Power comes from integrated PoE+ (802.3at Class 4) over the network cable, and the bundled battery means the phone keeps working through a brief network interruption or a move between conference rooms without shutting down. TLS and SRTP protect call signalling and media where that is required by the organisation’s network policy.

Where It Fits in Saudi Enterprise and Government Offices

In a Saudi corporate headquarters, the GAC2570 suits the boardrooms and executive meeting spaces used for calls with regional offices, external partners or a company’s board — the rooms where a touchscreen interface and reliable wide-area microphone pickup matter more than in a standard team room. Government and semi-government entities that hold larger internal reviews across departments benefit from the 12-party capacity, which supports a wider set of stakeholders on one call without a second bridge or dial-in service. Because the unit runs on battery as well as PoE+, it also suits training centres and event spaces that reconfigure rooms for different sessions — the same phone can be moved from a fixed boardroom setup to a temporary training room table without waiting on a new network drop. For organisations standardised on Zoom for external and partner calls, the GAC2570’s Zoom Certified status is a direct fit rather than a compatibility question to research separately. Wi-Fi 6 support also gives IT teams a path to deploy the phone in newer office fit-outs where wireless is prioritised over pulling additional Ethernet runs to every meeting room.

Positioning Against the GAC2500 in the Same Family

Where the GAC2500 is the fixed, wired-first conference phone for a standard mid-size room, the GAC2570 is built for rooms that need more: a larger touchscreen instead of a static display, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 alongside wired Gigabit, battery operation for portability, and a microphone system that can be extended with the optional GMD1208 accessory for tables too large for the built-in array alone. The higher conference-party capacity also separates the two models — the GAC2570 is the choice when a room regularly hosts more participants on a single call than a compact phone is built to handle. A team specifying one phone for a small, fixed-position meeting room should look at the GAC2500; a team specifying for a boardroom, an executive floor, or a space that needs to be reconfigured between events should specify the GAC2570.

Deployment Notes

The GAC2570 ships with an Ethernet cable, a Micro-USB cable, a quick installation guide and a PoE injector, so a room without a PoE+ switch can still power the unit from a standard non-PoE Ethernet port. An HDMI cable and the GMD1208 dual wireless extension microphones are available as optional accessories for rooms that need a screen-share connection or extended pickup beyond the built-in microphone radius. At 419.7 x 218.5 x 78.6 mm and 1.38 kg, the phone is sized for a boardroom table rather than a compact desk unit, and its 0-40 degrees C operating range with 10-90% non-condensing humidity fits a standard air-conditioned office; the -10 to 60 degrees C storage range gives installers margin when units sit in a warehouse ahead of a rollout.
