Biamp Systems has introduced Vocia 1.2, a critical paging and life safety system. Compliant with today’s most stringent life safety standards, the system incorporates superior intelligibility, distributed processing, page routing and networked audio and control. The networked approach eliminates the single point of system failure, allowing for decentralized design and a system that is expandable from a single paging station and amplifier to a more complex paging system across several zones and multiple buildings. The product features an enhanced Life Safety Interface device (LSI-16e), which expands the number of discrete emergency zones from four to 20, adding 16 additional option inputs and up to 500 virtual inputs, 50 emergency zones and 10 emergency messages per zone.
