SONIQ Releases Full Yealink SDK for Channel Partners

Deploy fully branded Android APKs to Yealink T58 and T88 smart displays — transforming desk phones into AI-powered smart terminals with live wallboards, contextual call data, and per-partner white-labelling.

Traditional desk phones are static SIP endpoints — they register, they ring, they hang up. With the SONIQ Yealink SDK, the T88W becomes a fully interactive smart terminal running your partner's brand, live wallboards, and native integration with the SONIQ platform.

The SDK wraps the Yealink device SDK, LiveKit Android SDK for WebRTC, and a WebView bridge to the SONIQ platform into a single deployable APK — purpose-built for each partner's brand.

The actual phone screen

This is the real SONIQ APK home screen running on the T88W. Five tappable tiles — Dial, Contacts, History, Video, DND — rendered as a zero-JS static page for compatibility across Android 5.1 (T58V) and Android 13 (T88W).

Zero-JS rendering

Plain server-rendered HTML — no React hydration, no client bundle. Works on Chromium 37 WebView.

Physical keypad integration

Users pick up the handset and dial on the physical keypad. The screen shows context, not a dialer.

Screen-per-function

Each tile is a full page reload via query params (?screen=dialer). No SPA routing — instant on old hardware.

Partner brandable

Colours, logo, and splash screen are injected at APK build time. Each partner gets their own build.

Live wallboard on every desk

The headline feature for end customers. This is the real SONIQ Wallboard — live calls with direction indicators and timers, KPI cards (calls today, answered rate, missed, avg talk time), and agent status with extension numbers. Updated in real-time via Supabase Realtime channels.

Per-partner branded APKs

Each partner gets their own branded APK built via GitHub Actions and deployed to S3. The APK includes custom splash screens, colour schemes, logos, and SIP realm configuration — so end customers see the partner's brand from the moment the phone boots. This mirrors the partner branding config in the partner portal.

“We didn't want to just put a logo on a desk phone. We wanted to give partners a genuinely smart endpoint that makes their customers' businesses more visible and more efficient from the moment they sit down. The T88 running SONIQ isn't a phone — it's a window into your business.”

— Johnny Robinson, Founder & CTO
