Algo IP Paging Adapters

Core Features 

• SIP Compliance: Registers as a SIP endpoint with most VoIP platforms (e.g., Microsoft Teams, Cisco, RingCentral), allowing paging via phone calls or softphones.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): Uses 802.3af PoE for power and connectivity over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation.
• Multicast: Broadcasts audio to multiple Algo IP devices (e.g., speakers, intercoms) without additional SIP registrations, reducing costs in large setups.
• Analog Bridging: Outputs audio to legacy systems via line-level connections or telephone ports, preserving investments in existing hardware.
• Flexibility: Supports live paging, pre-recorded messages, or scheduled announcements (e.g., via uploaded WAV files).
• Security: Encrypted communication with TLS/SRTP and network authentication via 802.1X.
• Management: Configurable through a web interface or Algo Device Management Platform (ADMP) for centralized control.

How They Work

• Integration: The adapter connects to your IP network via Ethernet and registers with a VoIP system. It then interfaces with an analog component—like an amplifier, speaker array, or even a telephone handset—via audio outputs or ports.
• Paging: Users dial the adapter’s SIP extension to make live announcements, or it triggers pre-set audio (e.g., emergency alerts) based on schedules or inputs (like a button press).
• Zoning: For the 8373, multiple SIP extensions or keypresses select which zone hears the page, while multicast extends coverage to IP speakers beyond the analog zones.
• Automation: Built-in schedulers can play tones or messages at set times—think school bells or shift-end signals—without manual input.

Applications

• Education: Converts an old ceiling speaker system into an IP paging solution with scheduled bells for class changes.
• Manufacturing: Links factory floor amplifiers to a VoIP system for loud, zoned announcements over machinery noise.
• Offices: Integrates desk phones with overhead paging for staff notifications.
• Retail: Upgrades store PA systems to handle IP-based alerts or background music.
• Healthcare: Ties legacy loudspeakers into emergency notification systems.

Algo Paging Adapters are a cost-effective way to modernize without scrapping functional analog gear. The PoE design cuts installation hassles, and SIP/multicast support ensures they scale with your needs—whether it’s one room or a sprawling facility. Audio quality is top-notch with wideband support, and features like noise compensation adapt to real-world environments. Plus, their reliability (backed by Algo’s telecom pedigree) means minimal downtime.
