Overhead Paging?

[ghurty]

What is the best way to do overheard paging?

I was looking at the CyberData products, but at $300 a pop they are expensive.

Are there cheaper ones out there?

If not, how hard is it to connect PiaF to a Bogen style system.


Thanks

The cyberdata stuff is expensive, but it works, and it works well. I use it in a warehouse installation currently

use a standard analog paging system and add a cheap $40 sip phone board to it.

tm100 - I wish I could but they are on a very tight budget

patrick_elx - Do you know if bogen has such a card for their multicom series?

Not sure they will be any cheaper but check out the Valcom line..

Other than that an ATA to a Bogen will probably be the cheapest option..

Or you can buy parts and build it yourself...
