Upgrade Without the Overhaul: Benefits of a Hybrid Paging System
When it comes to upgrading your paging system, ripping out everything and starting over isn’t always practical. Many organizations still rely on analog paging systems for daily operations and emergency alerts, but also want to move toward more flexible, IP-based communication. That’s where Valcom’s ezIP hybrid paging system shines. Designed to help organizations transition from analog to IP paging at their own pace, ezIP bridges the gap between legacy infrastructure and modern network-based solutions, without sacrificing reliability, coverage, or clarity.
What is a Hybrid Paging System
A hybrid paging system combines traditional analog paging equipment, such as 25V/70V speakers and wiring, with IP-based paging endpoints. Valcom’s ezIP solution allows healthcare facilities, industrial facilities, and smaller organizations to preserve existing infrastructure while adding IP speakers and advanced communication features on the same network.
Whether you’re managing emergency notifications in healthcare or facility-wide announcements in manufacturing, ezIP helps you modernize while staying cost-effective.
Top Benefits of Valcom’s ezIP Hybrid Paging System
Analog Compatibility Saves Time & Money
One of the biggest concerns with VoIP paging upgrades is cost. ezIP is compatible with analog speakers, even those from other manufacturers, so there’s no need to replace your entire system. You can keep what works and upgrade only where needed. This dramatically reduces labor and infrastructure costs.
Flexible & Scalable Paging
With ezIP, you can add IP speakers and expand coverage as your organization grows. New zones, buildings, or areas can be added without running new analog cabling. The system scales easily across campuses, multi-floor facilities, and networked locations.
VoIP & SIP Phone System Integration
Many organizations are moving to VoIP phone systems. ezIP integrates with SIP-based systems, ensuring your paging system works seamlessly with your IP phones and VoIP infrastructure, thereby helping to unify communication across platforms.
