Spotlight
on Campus Communication
Communication
is becoming a very hot topic in the news lately. With an increasing need to
communicate with multiple buildings, it is important to have a communication
system that can deliver a message, quickly, effectively and to everyone in the
building. University and College campuses often have many buildings covering a
large geographic area. Often whole facility communication is non-existent
because traditional analog audio systems are impractical to implement, with the
facilities relying on the telephone system or e-mail. The telephone method
requires multiple calls to deliver the message, which is time consuming and
often not a practical form of communication in an emergency. An alternative form
of communication is e-mail. Again, not practical and not an effective form of
communication. Neither of these scenarios offer the sender confirmation that the
intended audience received the message in a timely manner.
Modern
communication methods are well established and include high bandwidth and high
speed LAN/WAN structures. Universities and Colleges invest a lot of resources
into these network, so why not implement a system that will use the existing
network? TOA has developed a network translation device for audio (VoIP),
allowing up to CD quality audio over a 10/100Base T network using TCP/IP
Protocol. The NX-100 Network Audio Adapter is a
stand-alone hardware network solution for delivering audio, contact closure
input, open collector output and RS-232c data streams. The NX-100
allows for effective communication from a central location to remote buildings
as in the case of a University or College campus. It will allow two-way
communication from a central source to all NX-100’s connected to
standard audio paging systems, individually, as a group and all call. By using
the NX-100 to communicate, the central/sending location can
be assured that the receiving destination/building has received the message by
utilizing an audio call back, and/or a remote activated switch using the NX-100
contact input.
The
operation of TOA’s VoIP system is simple to operate and maintain. Broadcast
patterns can be software or hardware (no computer required) activated. When a
message is required to be delivered to a single or multiple locations, the
operator will select the appropriate location using the TOA Operations Software.
Once this “patch” has been established, the START button is selected in the
software to commence the broadcast. Or simply select a switch (hardware
activated) that has been associated with a broadcast pattern. Additional
functionality can include remote strobe/siren activation with the broadcast
pattern and data transfer to pixel board or other RS-232c protocol aware data
display devices.
TOA Canada Corporation’s NX-100 Network Audio Adapter
can be used in many other applications including; voice distribution to remote
broadcast areas such as, roadside locations and railway stations; general
purpose broadcasts in supermarket chain stores, department stores and various
manufacturing plants; voice announcements and other sound distribution for large
environments including airports and stadiums; and high quality audio monitoring,
such as remote location security. TOA Canada has many solutions for the NX-100
Series product line to fit your application. Contact your Regional
Sales Manager today for more information.
