Using VOIP to connect remote locations on a Overhead Loudspeaker Paging System, or a Public Address Systems is really working out well. Functionality is no problem. The fact the the locations are so spread out makes repair a bit of a challenge. We really need the cooperation of the IT departments. My last repair was for noise over paging at a remote location. Turns out the remote location had a noisy or defective power supply on the VOIP box.
Join Wisconsin Business Owners for a “Lunch and Learn” next Friday, October 31st, 2008.
Chris Moander will share some insights on IP - intellectual property.
I met Chris at a WisOwners meetup and I like the guy even though he’s a lawyer. Chris just completed a Wisconsin Business Owner Interview with another friend of mine. All the details and registration for the “Lunch and Learn” where Chris is speaking are at http://networkmarket.meetup.com/

www.Intelegist.com was featured as the Site-of-the-Week at www.theBubbler.com - the # 1 online guide and directory for Wisconsin. We got a LOT of traffic from the exposure, helping us get 31 new customers and 45 new jobs for phone systems and overhead paging (from people we hadn’t worked with before) from our Intelegist website. The people that publish our website, OnYourMark, LLC, also publish theBubbler.com. Good job!

I’m helping a contractor update paging for Milwaukee Public Schools. We’re changing all the amplifiers in all the schools.
We’re interfacing the paging cabinets with the school time-clocks and the phone systems. The old time-clock buzzers are being removed and the annoying horns are replaced by pleasant chimes through the overhead loudspeaker paging systems.

Bogen offers Universal Telephone Interface (UTI) for Self-Amplified Paging Systems and Telephone Systems that work great and cost less than (un)-comparable systems.
They make one mistake on their site. Everybody thinks this is just for Self-Amplified Systems. It’s not. This will interface any phone system to any paging system - it will even interface to VOIP systems.
I was on a conference call with another contractor recently…he was basically building a proprietary interface system with a lot of time and materials involved. I like this fellow’s work but I pointed out that the Bogen UTI would do all the things he wanted for a fraction of the cost. Besides that, the next phone / paging guy that comes along will better understand the Bogen UTI because it is built to industry standards (and sets the standard, in my opinion) - not jury-rigged to accomplish the phone, night bell, paging and other interface tasks.
The Bogen UTI is fully-programmable with a plain ordinary phone plugged into the built-in jack.
Good job, Bogen!

Atlas has a great paging volume control improvement over older styles in their AT Series Attenuators
This paging attenuator is smaller, and faster to install.
Got to hand it to OnYourMark, LLC…26 paying jobs have come through this website in 6
It is official, the Doctor of Paging has retired.
Don Bivens has retired after many years in the industry. Don inherited the title The Doc by everyone he ever worked with or trained.
I received excellent training from the Doc. This man gave much to the Overhead Paging Industry because he loved it.
Don traveled all over the country Training and doing Paging Demo’s. He loved what he was doing and it showed.
If you had a paging problem, Don could heal it.
I met up with Don while vacationing in Arizona this March. He is doing well.
He said he was no longer active in the Industry. I didn’t think he could do it.
He hung up his guns…..
He is retired, but not gone.
