Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Campus​

Each building and campus site in and around Boston is equipped with a UL2572 listed IDA8 system for paging, critical announcements, and emergency communications.  Each campus ties units in individual buildings together on a fully redundant ring fiber optic network that switches to the opposite direction should an interruption in the line occur.   Further, each processor is equipped with up to 8 amplifiers (one per zone) along with two back-up amplifiers.  All speaker lines are monitored along with all microphones in the system for complete peace of mind.  Faults are immediately reported to the appropriate personnel via fault indication on main units, microphones, and via e-mail.  Remote campuses can be monitored and reached via the hospital networks VLAN.

Products Used:

Chicago Highway Department​

Chicago Highway Department chose the IDA8 system for its ability to offer a fully monitored system for each service station housing equipment and highway personnel. Consisting of several office areas along with one large equipment repair bay and one large hangar for equipment storage the IDA8 offered the perfect number of available zones (8), full monitoring of speaker lines, and back-up amplification along with a sophisticated set of DSP parameters to maximize the intelligibility of the system in each area, some of which were difficult acoustic environments.

Union Station – Washington D.C.

Union Station – Washington D.C.

Completed in 1908, Washington Union Station is one of the country’s first great union railroad terminals.  Its’ halls feature very high ceilings and marble and stone surfaces creating a very difficult acoustic environment not helped by a rather high ambient noise level during peak hours.  Penton’s MESSENGER DSP steerable line arrays were selected due to their ability to target the audio energy at ear level and not splay over into areas creating echo.  14 large arrays cover all the most challenging areas with a very high intelligibility.

Products Used:

Horseshoe Bend School District, Idaho​

Horseshoe Bend School District chose the TERRACOM IP based school system for installation simplicity, amazing sound quality, bell schedule access, and ease of expandability. The TERRA Education system offers several speaker options with built in POE/POE+ amplification, contact closure inputs/outputs, and a wide range of DSP functionality. Two-way communication is achieved by a high sensitivity microphone integrated in each speaker housing and from-classroom communication is initiated by a wall plate with an LED enabled pushbutton. A Graphical User Interface created with all parts of the school represented serves as the communication platform along with bell schedule and pre-recorded messages.
