Unveiled early last year, Biamp Systems’ Vocia is a networked media system that provides combined distributed processing and page routing, as well as networked audio and control. Vocia originally received EN 54-16 certification shortly after being introduced in 2010. Each new subsequent Vocia product has also earned EN 54-16 voice evacuation safety standard approval. Last month, the company announced that the four new small amplifiers in the line have earned EN 54-16 certification. With this certification, the Vocia small amplifiers meet relevant government specifications for life-safety paging and voice evacuation systems throughout the European Union. This networked and modular approach eliminates the potential for a single point of failure and allows for the design and construction of a system that is easily expandable from a single paging station and amplifier to multiple zones with several hundred inputs and outputs. The line is scalable for facilities of all sizes to implement reliable, scalable, and flexible paging and voice evacuation systems.
