It runs a customized version of the Linux operating system, a lightweight yet robust OS that many smart electronics devices use since it ensures device responsiveness and high availability.

Other noteworthy features include support for the most common and highest-quality codecs, including narrowband and wideband G-series codecs, Opus, and iLBC. A particularly innovative feature is connecting up to four wireless DECT handsets to the T54W using the Yealink DD10K DECT dongle, turning the phone into a wireless communications hub.

The T54W falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, delivering an ideal balance between feature richness and cost-effectiveness; it is very versatile and can be used in a wide range of scenarios, including the following:
