wow. we pay 5 bucks a month for our paging service. granted, it's a one way pager, but I can't imagine two way pagers would be that much more.

I think almost all the USA nationwide paging providers went bankrupt or merged; except those whom are satellite based. I tried to get a local pager 6 years ago and that was what they told me. The cost for satellite pager was way too high. Seems some hospitals still use satellite based paging gear, us govt, etc. But local companies with towers couldn’t compete with cell phone based text messaging and Nextel Push to Talk affordably and closed up shop. Usually your own towers and gear is pretty expensive compared to what you can get off the shelf from a provider. 

I have customer’s replacing Motorola VHF two-way radios with 7925s using Singlewire’s Push to Talk. They already have Ethernet/802.11 for plant automation and inventory, etc.

I know it’s the USA site, but I’m sure it’s not that much different

Can’t find anything on the paging transmitter, but I’m sure your Motorola rep can point you in the right direction

Sorry, not sure what you are looking for then, do you want to just rent some pagers using the providers infrastructure? 

We use pagenet.ca which has good prices. 

I tried pagenet.com and got http://www.usamobility.com/

Hi Lelio, 

I already found some motorola references indeed, but either broken links or satellite based paging. They require a local/VHF solution, or I overlooked it ofcourse

Hi, 

does anyone know a brand/product that still makes local two-way pager systems? 

I'm not talking about speaker paging, but the alphanumeric pager/beeper handhelds which communicate over VHF with local antenna's. 

We actually got 2-3 RFP's for the moment which require it, partly due to its great signal coverage in plants for example. 

It would be a plus if it's IP, but let's start with baby steps, any manufactor that still makes/supports analog ones would already be good. 

Br, 

Thomas
