Barix Annuncicom 200

ISC West 2018 Booth #15141

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, February 12, 2018Barix will showcase its market-leading innovation in SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)-based paging and intercom solutions at ISC West (April 11-13, Sands Expo Center, Las Vegas, Booth 15141)) with its new SIP Zone Paging firmware – the Audio over IP pioneer’s latest cost-effective paging and public announcement solution. Barix’s solution for SIP architectures more fully integrates audio and paging capabilities with IP-based telephone systems in a seamless, firmware-based approach that benefits both installers and end-user customers.

The new Barix SIP Zone Paging firmware runs on existing Barix hardware, including Exstreamer decoders and Annuncicom two-way audio devices, and enables systems integrators to implement a zone-supportable paging solution without the need to designate a SIP client for each individual paging point. Page routing and communication is instead accomplished natively in the Barix SIP paging gateway. Configuration for this capability is required only once within the client port gateway firmware, overcoming the problem of prohibitive implementation costs for SIP solutions and need for individual client licenses.

“This is a hybrid IP paging and complete SIP solution,” said Reto Bader, vice president of sales and marketing, Barix. “The SIP Zone Paging firmware removes the constraints of configuring zone paging in a SIP environment, lessening some of the installation ‘divide’ that exists between paging and audio systems. Now, it’s a simple process to register a new gateway, provide seamless integration to the SIP firmware and enable specific zones for operation. It’s robust, easier to configure, and saves on individual licensing fees.”

As an example, a user will use the SIP phone and dial the gateway number, selecting the zones which are designated to carry the message to multiple loudspeakers at once. The SIP phones can dial into the paging system without a dedicated paging microphone station.

The new SIP Zone Paging firmware represents Barix’s latest approach to SIP and Paging integration. It is an alternative to Barix’s SIP Client Firmware, also to be demonstrated at ISE, which allows systems integrators to equip loudspeakers and amplifiers with a SIP address to receive calls.

With SIP Client Firmware, VoIP service providers can integrate intercom, paging, and music-on-hold applications with SIP-enabled PBX telephone systems, and achieve centralized control and management platforms for virtually all communications. Redundant streams with seamless switching allows systems integrators to provide a single, integrated solution that is more easily serviced and maintained and maximizes reliability and customer uptime in corporate and other vertical markets. SIP Zone Paging and SIP Client Application both support registration to redundant PBX systems.
