Multi-Tech, Bogen provide voice paging
over IP
UNITED
STATES -- Bogen Communications, a provider of sound
systems and telephone peripherals, and Multi-Tech Systems,
a data communications technology company, will enable
businesses to provide company-wide overhead paging to
locations within a facility, or across a campus, without
running new lines. Bogen's telephone access module,
along with its amplifiers, and Multi-Tech's MultiVOIP
VoIP gateways integrate seamlessly to provide overhead
voice paging over IP networks. Now, a business can make
a company-wide announcement or page employees across
a campus of offices more efficiently. They can even
page remote office locations located thousands of miles
away.
Multi-Tech's
MultiVOIP gateways connect to Bogen's single zone or
multi-zone paging interfaces and a broad array of audio
paging equipment to enable voice pages directly through
IP data network. The gateway sends a voice page onto
the IP network, and utilises another MultiVOIP gateway
at the remote end, to separate the voice page from the
data network and send it to the amplifier. To make a
page, the user dials a particular paging zone number.
The page can be sent to individual buildings or heard
throughout the entire system as an "all-call page."
Dave
Chambers, senior vice president, sales, Bogen Communications,
said: "This powerful combination eliminates the
need for new wiring required by traditional overhead
paging systems. In most cases, running new wire between
office locations is expensive or impossible, considering
it might be to many sites countrywide or worldwide.
Leased lines and excessive long distance bills are becoming
a thing of the past with VoIP. Businesses with multiple
buildings are networked via Ethernet. The MultiVOIP
gateways allow us to use this connection to the WAN
as a conduit for our voice paging systems.
"Without
this innovative joint solution, most multi-location
businesses would give up on the idea of company-wide
overhead paging at remote, or difficult to reach locations,
because of the cost. Now we can provide these businesses
with a cost-effective means to render emergency alerts,
make general broadcast announcements, and ultimately
improve internal communications with a simultaneous
paging solution, not to mention enhancing employee safety,
a key concern today," he added.
