Many schools still rely on aging overhead paging systems that struggle to reach every classroom or portable. Routine announcements are often missed, and during emergencies, messages may need to be repeated by phone or radio. As schools modernize their networks and adopt SIP-based phone systems, they need paging solutions that can keep pace with digital infrastructure and safety demands.

By implementing Genesis Unified Paging, schools can connect their overhead speakers, SIP phones, and even desktops into one cohesive communication platform. Using SIP and multicast technology, messages can be sent instantly to hundreds or even thousands of endpoints without straining the network. Administrators can deliver pages campus-wide or target specific zones — such as the gym, cafeteria, or outdoor areas — with a single click. The system also supports automated bell schedules and pre-recorded messages for smooth day-to-day operation.

Why It Matters

• Instant communication across classrooms, offices, and outdoor areas
• Zone-based paging for targeted messages without disrupting instruction
• Multicast efficiency that keeps bandwidth use low
• Unified integration with existing SIP and cloud phone systems
• Audio and visual alerts for improved safety and accessibility

With Genesis Unified Paging, schools can move beyond traditional PA systems toward a faster, smarter, and more connected communication platform — one that enhances daily coordination and ensures critical alerts are heard when it matters most.

Incident Aware Paging from Genesis Systems delivers a unified, cloud-based approach to emergency communication—combining real-time paging, multi-channel alerting, and incident management into a single, integrated solution.

Built for interoperability, Incident Aware connects with on-premises or cloud telephony systems, enabling organizations to initiate, route, and broadcast alerts across SIP phones, multicast devices, overhead speakers, mobile apps, desktops, SMS, and email. Pages can be geo-targeted to specific sites, zones, or buildings, or sent organization-wide to support both localized and global event response.

Administrators can define event-driven triggers and automate page delivery based on alert type, severity, or location. The platform supports staged alerting, enabling escalation workflows that distinguish between routine notifications and critical incidents.

Incident Aware’s multicast architecture optimizes network efficiency by delivering a single audio stream to multiple endpoints, reducing bandwidth requirements compared to traditional unicast paging. It also supports cross-platform paging mirroring, extending alerts between disparate systems for full coverage across hybrid environments.

With scalable design, flexible configuration, and seamless integration into existing infrastructure, Incident Aware Paging provides organizations with a modern, technically robust foundation for coordinated emergency communication and enterprise-wide situational awareness.
