[cisco-voip] overhead paging vs ip phones

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I'm just wondering what people think about overhead paging. I know it's old school, but I like it's independance from the phone/network system in the event of an emergency. Plus, it's much cheaper considering the phones you have to buy and licence and the paging software you have to buy/licence as well. Granted it gives you two way communication if you need it and you can use the phone for other things as well, but in a tight budget situation, I'm thinking over head paging is the way to go.

I'm also guessing a real speaker is going to be louder and clearer than an IP phone speaker.
