Electrocom Offers VoIP Safety and Security Solution for K-12 Schools
Electrocom, the market leader in communications and media management for K-12 schools throughout western Washington, announced the release of the Telecenter VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) based intercommunications system. Using existing data network cabling, the Telecenter VoIP addresses the crucial communication and security issues throughout an entire school facility.
Lynnwood, WA (PRWEB) November 3, 2006 -- Recent tragic events remind us that there is a need for additional, modern, and better safeguards for the students and staff in the school environment. "Intercom systems are not being installed in a number of schools, and that should concern all of us," said Loren Timmons, Educational Consultant for Electrocom Communication and Sound. "A communication system that is hands-free with two-way communication, integrated with facility wide paging, is now a vital and necessary tool in any emergency situation."
Unlike an antiquated paging system, the new Telecenter VoIP will allow school administrators to remotely monitor and have hands-free two-way communication with any classroom in the facility. From either inside or outside the facility (via a cell phone), the system can broadcast emergency tones, page specific facility locations, and initiate prerecorded emergency announcements for school lock down. Mr. Timmons went on to say, "The advantages and critical safety benefits of a state-of-the-art intercom system cannot, and should not be overlooked."
There remains continued confusion in the K-12 community regarding VoIP technology and its advantages over a legacy system in school safety. "Safety Through Communications," a white paper written by Gary Audin, the foremost authority on VoIP technology, and available free through Electrocom, address a number of important issues. The report covers network, hardware, and software considerations, but most importantly, the life safety issues and scenarios for which VoIP offers specific solutions.
