What Is An Analog Paging System?

 

A paging system is a network of communication devices within an office environment, consisting of phones, microphones, and connected teleconference speakers. To describe a paging system as “analog” means that its physical infrastructure is based on traditional wire phone lines instead of internet technologies, providing a simple and straightforward system for communicating with your employees. 

 

Types of Analog Paging Systems


While a traditional — and typically older — analog paging system will rely solely on copper lines (as you’d encounter in any older phone line system), updated analog paging systems may form part of a hybrid of internet and wired technologies. 

You can tailor these highly compatible technologies in any number of ways to accommodate your company’s unique technology, security, and communication requirements. No matter your existing wired setup, you can adapt it to match the needs of your business. 

 

Benefits of Analog Paging Systems

 

There are three broad and overlapping benefits to analog paging systems, and these will apply differently based on your company’s core business and technological infrastructure:

  • Cost: Upgrading and expanding on your existing paging system (and potentially augmenting it with IP technologies where necessary) is a significantly less expensive exercise than fully replacing it with an IP paging system. 
  • Security: Securing your communications over an analog paging system is relatively straightforward in comparison to managing an Internet Protocol paging system. Moreover, it's a closed system and inherently buffered from outside electronic tampering.  
  • Simplicity: An analog paging system is built on simple wired technology. Maintaining and using analog paging technology requires no additional training, and minimal technical inputs to keep it running. 

 

 

Companies That Can Use Analog Paging Systems


Analog paging is an excellent option to explore if your company has an existing wired telephony system, or if you prefer the simplicity of a non-Internet dependent technology.
