The telecom industry is continuing the shift towards more IP-based technology because IP is more easily deployed, flexible and cost effective solution. Along with that, IP-based paging systems have many compelling advantages over traditional analog systems.

Cost effective installation

Deploying a wide spread analog network can become a very time intensive and tedious activity, especially wiring large and older buildings. IP speakers can be easily moved without extensive additional wiring. They are not subjected to the same wired restrictions as analog speakers and therefore are not limited to one specific area or building; the solution can easily be extended to encompass many different locations as long as the speakers are all connected to the same IP network. The simple installation and placement of IP speakers makes them the most cost effective solution when dealing with organizations that see a see the need for future expansion.

Maintenance and administration made simple

Maintenance and administration of an IP system is also simplified a great deal. Software is all that is needed to manage and maintain IP endpoints. With IP speakers, users are immediately notified if there are problems on the network or if a single speaker is malfunctioning. With centralized control and maintenance there is no need for multiple specialized maintenance crews, one IP administrator can oversee the entire communications system, adding increased efficiencies in any organization.

Resilient systems

IP networks are also self healing; meaning even a physical breakage at one point on the network will not cause interruption to the entire network’s service. Analog networks do not work like this, if one link in the system is severed, connections are lost to that entire section.

For these reasons, the potential applications and deployments IP systems can accommodate are endless. For more information on how to introduce your customers to IP solutions including speakers, please contact Benbria Sales.
