New Boston SFS needs a PA system that can receive Common Alert Protocol (CAP) messages from BDOC computer (Windows 10) and our current version of BlackBerry AtHoc emergency notification (v7.2.1) which is a program used to notify personnel in case of emergency. The system must integrate with all current Valcom speakers and amplifiers. The system must be able to support analog and VoIP telephone paging. Must be able to store at a minimum 25 recorded messages and play those messages on demand and on a schedule from BDOC computer.

The current PA system is a Valcom Multipath system powered by a V-C6124P Valcom power supply. Valcom speakers are all self-amplified and they are in each building with PA capabilities and are powered by a VP-6124 in each building. All buildings receive audio from Valcom Multipath in building 100 Rm 140. An analog signal leaves the Valcom Multipath and enters a VIP-802 media converter in the same room which converts the signal to digital. Digital signal travels to distant end and is received by another VIP-802 which converts the signal back to analog and goes to the speaker. Speaker models include V-9022A, V-1030C, V-1920C, and V1038-B.
