2 VOCIA : INTEGRATED MESSAGING FOR CONCISE COMMUNICATIONS. Whether it s existing infrastructure, new facilities or future construction, Vocia is flexible and scalable enough to meet the requirements of your unique environment. Vocia allows unified control over your everyday paging and emergency messaging systems with one easy-to-use set of software tools. You gain diagnostic system information and the ability to make changes from any workstation both onsite and remotely. The network-based architecture uses industry standard protocols and integrates with most older, analog systems without costly rewiring. With that kind of power and efficiency, it s no surprise corporations everywhere are moving towards Vocia.

3 MANUFACTURING Assembly line management is more efficient when integrated with digital signage and work instruction systems. For example, with discrete paging zones along the assembly line, you have configuration control over your audio system, so that the information shown on the flat panel screens synchronizes with what is heard over the loud speakers. SERVICES / UTILITIES From power plants to refineries, Vocia can interact with emergency communication systems and detection equipment to enable automated message playback. So when a spill or leak occurs, the detection system alerts you instantly, and triggers a critical message to play in affected areas. As always, Vocia provides flexible, quality everyday paging and is EN certified for life safety. INDUSTRIAL INSTALLATIONS. DISTRIBUTION CENTERS In large, complex facilities such as distribution centers, Vocia provides automated paging and emergency messaging solutions that keep everything running smoothly. To prevent trucks from getting too close to the dock, for example, critical alerts can be tied to third party detection equipment to prevent collisions and potential damage to merchandise.

4 Concourse + Gate Curbside Vocia s advanced automation capabilities enable reliable, continuous message communication where needed. Prerecorded curbside messages play as scheduled, while allowing for live pages as needed. These features provide a reliable way to communicate security, traffic flow and general messages to arriving and departing passengers. Live and prerecorded announcements are played in their designated areas only. These announcements can be made from paging stations or automatically, through Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS) via middleware or third-party controllers. Passenger arrival and departure messages, along with other messages, can be customized for each airline, for even greater accuracy and efficiencies. TYPICAL AIRPORT INSTALLATIONS. Baggage Claim Carousel information can be communicated from microphone stations or automatically, through FIDS (via middleware or third-party). The Ambient Noise Compensation (ANC-1) device automatically regulates message volume levels to ensure that messages are intelligible. Ticketing + Security Checkpoint Using either Wall or Desk Stations (WS-10/DS-10), pages can be sent from security checkpoints or ticket counters to specified zones, or across all zones. Pages sent from checkpoint areas are given the highest priority, ensuring immediate delivery.

5 FINANCIAL & HIGHER EDUCATION INSTALLATIONS. Reception Integrate existing telephone systems for paging to any zone, even in other buildings. Prerecorded and scheduled messages using VoIP are stored on the Message Server (MS-1) and played in specified zones as needed Narrowcasting vs. Broadcasting Thanks to Vocia s network-based architecture and zone-based configurations, announcements can be sent to precise locations. This ensures an overall quieter environment and a more focused staff. The Automatic Noise Compensation (ANC-1) device automatically adjusts output levels to ensure messages are intelligible. Information/Student Registration Vocia Desk Stations (DS-4/DS-10) ensure clear communications across all zones or to a group of zones. Messages are prioritized and stacked to ensure emergency pages are heard first. Vocia endpoints are single-wire PoE, so additions and expansion is as easy as adding a network drop. Server Room Operators/Call Centers The institution's telephone system is integrated with Vocia s Message Server (MS-1) providing superior emergency and general paging across all buildings. With Vocia s Message Server (MS-1) and Text-to-Speech (TTS-1) server, many communications can be completely automated. Plus the TTS-1 is interoperable with third-party systems via middleware or third party controllers. Facilities/IT Administration Vocia s decentralized, network-based architecture allows customized audio solutions that are easily maintained and monitored on-site or remotely.

6 THIS IS WHAT CLARITY SOUNDS LIKE. For over 35 years, Biamp has been a world leader in professional audio technology, with a reputation for innovation and precision sound. Now, with Vocia, we ve brought our digital signal processing (DSP) expertise to the world of network public address and voice evacuation. Vocia s clarity and intelligibility aren t the only features that make this system so special Vocia s also a technological leap forward. As a decentralized, network-based system, Vocia puts public address and voice evacuation firmly into the realm of IT, with unmatched flexibility and reliability. Vocia uses industry-standard protocols for data and voice so you can integrate your existing telephone system as an input source. All said, Vocia won t just improve your communications. It will also improve your operations. SOFTWARE THAT PUTS YOU IN CONTROL. The centerpiece of Vocia s software is a powerful dashboard that allows quick and easy access to diagnostics, system health information, status, usage, audio levels, and more. System alerts are displayed on the dashboard, and can be automatically ed, so you re never out of touch. Plus, the entire interface and navigation is based on the familiar Windows platform, so it s intuitive and easy to navigate. Vocia also has a powerful set of configuration tools zones and worlds are created entirely with the software logically, not physically. That means that moves and changes can be made easily, without having to relocate hardware. You can also add and configure new components in the offline mode, and install new devices when you re ready. The system will automatically recognize new hardware as it s added, saving countless man-hours and hassle. Call TSL for a Live Demo ext: 222
