Telecom & Data introduces Clear Voice™ planar speakers for emergency and general paging in manufacturing, sports stadiums and entertainment venues, and police and fire operations use. Originally developed for military applications, planar speakers deliver an unprecedented level of clear voice communication over distances greater than a mile, even in very noisy environments.

Clear Voice planar speakers can save lives by delivering loud and extremely intelligible messages via a compact speaker. They are ideal any time there’s a need for voice communication in a loud environment, a large coverage area, or a long distance. Telecom & Data offers Clear Voice planar speakers that throw sound for distances of 100 yards, 140 yards, 250 yards, and 650 yards.

The power and exciting ingenuity of this disruptive technology is hard to convey in words. Magnetic planar technology disperses sound waves differently – more like a beam of light, so sound waves do not scatter as the sound moves away from the speaker. As a result, the speaker transmits sound much farther without losing clarity. In fact, the acoustics become more powerful as the listening distance is extended, up to a mile.

Clear Voice has integrated magnetic planar technology in mountable speakers designed for demanding environments such as manufacturing plants, distribution centers, sports stadiums, college campuses and concert and festival venues. Small, portable and durable hand-held speakers are available for police, fire and search-and-rescue operations – anywhere long-distance clarity and intelligibility are key.

Clear Voice speakers can be installed separately or as an addition to existing paging systems, with three options for connectivity: Wireless, IP paging and analog. Fewer planar speakers are needed than conventional speakers, which reduces installation time and costs. Manufactured in the United States, Clear Voice speakers are weather-proof and built to deliver consistent, superior performance even with heavy-duty outdoor use.

Great news for businesses located in tornado effected areas.  Telcom & Data has been working with Thunder Eagle, Inc., a leading manufacturer of Tornado Early Warning industrial grade NOAA weather radios for the past 25 years, to deliver early warning solutions to large commercial sound systems.  The Weather Eagle 100 receiver and the

Save Lives with an Early Warning NOAA Radio for Industrial Plants

Alert Eagle 120 (SAME) Specific Area Message Decoder provide real time, reliable, and automatic source of weather alerts, filtered by specific weather events and geographical location into public address systems.

The Thunder Eagle system was engineered for, and has been in active service in, weather mission critical locations such as PSAPS, business headquarters, factories, schools, security offices, sports venues, and command centers for decades. For example, Thunder Eagle systems are in active use automatically opening FEMA tornado shelter doors and setting off municipal tornado sirens throughout the country when the National Weather Service (NWS) issues tornado warnings.

Thunder Eagle is happy to pre-program the receivers for specific weather threats such as tornados, flash floods, hurricanes, and blizzards and county locations to make installation as plug and play as possible.

When asked about why Telcom & Data was recommending and installing the Thunder Eagle radios the President of Telcom & Data said, “ Thunder Eagle radios are able to provide severe weather detection faster and better than other sources. Giving people the ability to evacuate even 1 minute sooner can make the difference between life and death.”

Thunder Eagle radios have many sophisticated diagnostic features that help to verify that the NWS alerts are actually being received and properly decoded, including recording the last weather alert into the receiver, both in analog audio format and decoded SAME for later playback and analysis. The NWS has often used these features to troubleshoot and maintain the national NOAA weather radio system. Consumer grade NOAA radios do not provide this level of sophistication and reliability. Special radio filters limit locally generated RF from interfering with the reception of weather alerts.

For facilities that need full time weather forecasts, information and radar, in addition to warnings, Thunder Eagle integrates the Weather Eagle into a full web site with local professional weather station that is accessible through web browsers.

The Thunder Eagle radio and encoder can be connected to Supervised Paging System to automatically broadcast a weather alert throughout a building notifying employees to take shelter.  For more information please call 800-335-0229 ext 834

Good News for Schools wanting to Upgrade their school paging intercom systems.

Most schools have invested in upgrading IT networking infrastructure through out. New cabling, servers, smart boards, IP Phones, increased bandwidth have all played a part in keeping with current technology.

Telcom & Data introduces PENTON IP School Paging Solutions. Penton IP School Paging solutions are easy to implement on to any existing IP Network. The TERRA-SERVER is an audio distribution system for Public Address and evacuation purposes which rest on an Ethernet/IP networking architecture. It is capable of making microphone calls, starting prerecorded messages or routing music through the network from a central based server and/or operator unit. The Terra Server is easy web based and easy to manage from anywhere. School districts can set up several schedules to accommodate Grade school , middle school and high school schedules.

The Terra Server software can also be installed on multiple computers at the same time, associate with microphone paging desks, IP matrix, and IP terminals. In the network, at least one computer must act as TERRA-SERVER and carrier the content of prerecorded messages and the music libraries. This server-PC is also used for system configuration settings and logging. Because this server plays a vital role in the system it can be linked to a back-up server system.

The system offers features such as single button access to individual classrooms, page all rooms, inputs for background music or recordings, and tone signals for class start and stop times. Add features including Centalized Wireless School Clocks, and Emergency Notification for Severe Weather, Code Red/Lock Down / Fire Emergency and more.

The IP Speakers provide two way functionality and includes speaker, microphone and call button. Wall mount and ceiling mount IP speakers are available for any room, cafeteria or gym area.
