Improving School Safety with SIP & Multicast Paging

by lisa July 2, 2025

Reliable communication is essential in schools, for daily announcements, emergency alerts, and overall campus coordination. With Genesis Unified Paging’s SIP & Multicast Broadcasting, schools gain a flexible alerting solution that supports safety, accessibility, and operational efficiency.

Works with existing and future systems: Genesis integrates with on‑premises PBXs, cloud‑based voice systems, SIP phones, and multicast devices. Whether your school is using traditional systems or transitioning to VoIP, paging remains consistent across all platforms.

Reaches all endpoints, across all locations: Send live or scheduled messages to SIP desk phones, overhead speakers, desktops, mobile devices, email, SMS, and more. You can target specific buildings, zones, or the entire school district as needed.

Network-efficient broadcasting: Multicast streaming allows a single message to be delivered to many devices without overloading your network—ideal for school-wide or district-wide notifications. 

 Location-based targeting: Messages can be directed to specific areas—such as a single classroom wing, the gym, or outdoor spaces—based on urgency or relevance.

How Schools Benefit in Real-World Situations

Emergency Response: In critical events such as a lockdown, fire, or severe weather, staff can quickly broadcast clear alerts via voice, text, and visual displays. Different types of alerts can be directed to specific areas based on the situation.

Daily Announcements: Paging is available for scheduled or real-time announcements—such as class changes, bus updates, or event reminders—without needing to rely on a central intercom system.

Support for Remote and Hybrid Learning: Alerts and messages can include off-site staff and virtual classrooms, keeping all team members informed, regardless of location.

Genesis Unified Paging with SIP and Multicast Broadcasting gives schools a reliable, scalable way to manage daily communications and respond to emergencies. It enhances coordination, supports inclusive communication, and integrates with both current and future systems.
