Valcom Next Generation Page Controllers Modernizing Paging and Intercom Systems
Paging and intercom systems have evolved significantly since the 1960s. Legacy amplifier-based public address systems are still in use, but don’t offer the features and interoperability available today. Analog phone systems, which are built on phone lines, central amplifiers, and analog loudspeakers, are still in use but come with high installation costs, complex wiring, and frequent equipment failures.
Valcom’s Next Generation of Hybrid Page Controllers
Valcom’s next-generation hybrid page controllers offer a powerful and cost-effective alternative. These compact, flexible controllers are designed to integrate with analog, IP and/or hosted phone systems. Simple dial accessible zones support area-specific announcements, minimizing unnecessary disruptions. They support both VoIP (Voice over IP) and analog speakers and are perfect for new and retrofit applications.
Flexible Paging Controller Options for Every Facility
Choose from 1-zone, 3-zone and 6-zone paging controllers tailored for:
- Hospitals seeking reliable overhead paging and staff alerts
- Industrial facilities modernizing safety communications
- Corporate offices needing a zone-based announcement
