Additionally, apps allow for communications from a Smart Phone. The Mobile device needs to be on the same network as the speakers. This allows an administrator with the ability to make an announcement to a individual classroom, office or the entire school.
Wireless Speaker System
Our speaker system provides your facility with a Wi-Fi option. The Wi-Fi option is for schools that have a strong Wi-Fi network and do not have the necessary computer network cabling to install an Ethernet Speaker at every location where a speaker is needed.
The flexibility of WiFi provides for the opportunity of optimal and complete speaker coverage within your school.
The Wi-Fi speakers can be combined with Ethernet connected speakers and will function exactly in the same manner. The speakers have a USB port on the speaker so that a microphone can be attached in order to provide intercom capability.
WiFi speakers come in a standard power size and a High Powered size. The standard size provides for excellent volume for normal classrooms and the high powered size is perfect for large gathering areas.
IP PoE Speaker System
When there are available ports on your Ethernet switch and you have Ethernet cabling run to the location where you want to locate the speaker our IP PoE speakers are ideal.
The speakers have a RJ45 plug on the back of the speaker. You simply plug your Ethernet patch cable into the port on the back of the speaker. This provides the connectivity to your Ethernet Network. The web based software resides on one or numerous desktops so that live broadcast can be executed from multiple locations within the building.
As with our wireless speakers, the IP speakers come in two different sizes. We have the high power speaker which is used in areas such as cafeteria and gymnasium size rooms. The standard classroom speaker is used in medium size rooms to provide adequate coverage.
The speaker volume can be adjusted either by the physical volume control selector on the back of the speaker or from the control software.
