The RAD-1A remote access device connects existing paging systems with today’s most common analogue interfaces. “There’s no standard way to page anymore. Advancements in VoIP/SIP and cellular technologies can leave applications wide open, so we made a simple interface to bridge the gap.” – James Catt, Engineer, Viking Electronics, Inc.

Security Code feature prevents misdials and unauthorised access

The RAD-1A allows users to bring their existing paging system into the modern realm of VoIP/SIP and mobile telecom applications. The RAD-1A is a ring-trip paging device that will answer an incoming phone call and convert that audio into a 600 Ohm output compatible with most paging amplifiers in use today. An optional security code prevents misdials or unauthorised access of the paging system.

A multitude of analogue phone line emulators are compatible with the RAD-1A. Cellular-to-analogue adapters may be used or use an FXS port on an ATA to connect to host and on-premise VoIP/SIP phone systems. CO lines and analogue PABX extensions can also be used.

Once a user connects with the RAD-1A, on-board relay contacts can activate the attached paging amplifiers. After the page, the RAD-1A will disconnect on CPC, busy signal, or return to dial tone. User-programmable silence time-out or call-length time out will also trigger a disconnect once the timer has expired.
