When the bell schedule changes, a wing goes into lockdown, or the front office needs every classroom at once, the message has to land on every speaker and every phone in the same second. IP paging makes that happen over the network you already run.

What modern IP paging gives you

This is not the dusty analog system you remember. Network-based IP paging installs faster and runs over one network.

Phones double as paging and intercom

Any IP phone can page a zone or run as a two-way intercom, so you do not buy a separate device for every room.

IP multicast paging

Phones and speakers listen to one broadcast address, which scales cleanly across a large building or campus.

Works with your existing speakers

SIP-based adapters integrate with most existing overhead systems, so you keep the speakers you have.

Bell scheduling

Time-clock chimes for class changes, shift changes, and breaks, on the schedule you set.

Flexible zones

Page one classroom, one wing, one building, or the whole district, and remap zones as needs change.

Security integration

Tie paging into cameras and access control so one event can announce, lock, and flag footage together.

Built for K-12 schools

Schools live by the bell and have to reach everyone the instant something goes wrong.

Frequently asked questions

What is an IP paging system?

An IP paging system delivers paging and intercom over your data network instead of separate analog wiring. IP phones page zones, speakers and phones listen to a multicast broadcast, and it integrates with most existing overhead speakers.

Can it run our school bell schedule?

Yes. The system runs automated time-clock chimes for class changes, breaks, and shift changes on the calendar you set, including special schedules for early-release and testing days.

Does it work with the overhead speakers we already have?

In most cases, yes. Our SIP-based paging adapters integrate with most existing overhead systems, so you keep the speakers you have and add IP endpoints where you need them.

How does paging support a lockdown?

A lockdown announcement can be pushed to every speaker and phone in one action, and the same event can lock doors and flag camera footage, so the announcement, the locks, and the recording happen together.

What equipment do you use for paging?

We build with equipment from industry leaders including Algo, Snom, Valcom, and Cyberdata, specified per site based on your speakers, buildings, and coverage needs.
