move forwardwith vocia networked media systemsVocia® is more than a basic public address system. It’s the result of Biamp understanding your needs and acting on the evolving communication trends in Healthcare Information Technology. By using proven IT technologies and applying them to standard and advanced public address features, Vocia delivers a superior alternative to the traditional analog public address system. Vocia uses standard Ethernet infrastructure to lower your total cost of ownership, and provides software tools for easier system implementation, remote support and maintenance.

When designing a system as critical as a hospital public address, Vocia’s feature-rich options and flexibility deliver what’s needed to create the perfect system regardless of the size. Whether for a simple overhead paging application or for the most advanced critical code call or staff call system, Vocia’s features deliver the overhead paging solution needed. Plus, Vocia’s decentralized architecture provides a modular, scalable system, enabling you to build a customized solution that fits even the most challenging spaces.

One of Vocia’s leading advantages is the ability to incorporate most of your facility’s legacy analog audio system while bridging to the future as your requirements change. It is this balance of reuse and advanced future proofing that provides you an ideal system regardless of how unique the need is.

Whether for a simple overhead paging application or the most advanced integrated system, Vocia’s features deliver the solution for today and as your needs grow.

Since Vocia is network-based with decentralized processing and page routing, it delivers the highest degree of system scalability and reliability. Multi-building facilities, like hospitals and patient care centers, require a variety of paging capabilities — from live, user recorded and prerecorded messages to zone-specific administrative announcements. The modular construction of Vocia allows for easy expansion and message management, adding features such as additional zones and buildings as needs grow and change. Best of all, Vocia comes standard with Biamp System’s legendary sound quality and reliability.

server room interfaceVocia has special features available via the Message Server (MS-1) and Text-to-Speech (TTS-1) server. The TTS-1 allows for greater automation and interoperability with third-party systems via middleware or third- party controller.

facilities/it administrationVocia’s decentralized, network-based architecture enables the creation of a customized audio solution that is easily maintained and monitored, on-site and through remote management.

operators/call centers

narrow cast vs. all call

Telephone Integration to a Message Server (MS-1) provides superior emergency paging and general overhead paging across all buildings included in the system.

Vocia provides superior message management with its network-based architecture, software zone management and ambient noise compensation — which further reduces noise levels and ensures messages are loud enough during peak activity times. Whether an announcement needs to be heard in the Emergency Department or across several areas or zones, messages go exactly where they’re needed. This provides a quieter healing environment.

information/patient registrationThe easy-to-use Desk Stations facilitate clear communications across all zones or to a speci!c group of zones. Message stacking and customized prioritization ensure courtesy and general purpose pages are ranked behind critical and emergency messages. Vocia end points are single wire PoE, so additions and expansions to the system are as easy as adding a network drop.

ReceptionUse your existing telephone system to make overhead pages to any zone within the system, including other buildings. Support for VoIP telephone paging on the Message Server (MS-1) provides prerecorded and scheduled messages (e.g., visiting hours).
