[cisco-voip] Paging solution for K-12 environment

[Denis Pointer]

Hello,    I am working with a K-12 school division where we are deploying a
Cisco VoIP Solution across numerous schools.  We have the Board office and
several Schools already on the Cisco solution currently using Singlewire
(formerly known as Berbee) InformaCast for paging, with Atlas Zone Control
Modules to tie into existing analog over head paging, as well as some new
Atlas IP Speakers.  However, for a few reasons (which I won't get into now)
they want to investigate alternate solutions for the paging platform.

   They require real time paging capabilities to some IP phones and overhead
speakers simultaneously (we are achieving this today through the use of the
Atlas Zone Control modules).  They also need a built in bell scheduler.

   The two other paging vendors I am going to start looking into is
IPCelerate (I believe the IPSession application) and Syn-Apps(I believe the
SA-Announce and SA-Broadcast applications). I am curious to know what others
experience has been with there products.  We want something that is easy for
the end user to use, and can provide a seamless high quality integration.

   Also does anyone currently use / recommend any other vendor software for
paging that will meet the requirements above?
