Paging is one of the last analog holdouts your customers won't let you rip out, and you shouldn't have to.
When you take over a customer's phone system, the question always comes up: "Can we keep the overhead paging?" Schools, warehouses, clinics, retail floors — they're all running 70V amps and ceiling speakers installed long before anyone said "VoIP." The answer is yes, and the path runs through a SIP paging adapter.
Our latest guide walks MSPs through the two dominant hardware paths, step by step:
→ The Algo 8301, which registers natively as a SIP endpoint and outputs balanced line-level audio
→ The Bogen UTI1, which needs an ATA or FXS port in front of it to join a SIP environment
Inside, you'll find the actual wiring for Bogen C-series, GS-series, and TPU amps, the web UI settings that keep DTMF and codecs from breaking zone control, and a troubleshooting matrix for the field failures that turn a five-minute cutover into a four-hour callback — ground loops, DTMF dropout, multicast delivery.
The hardware cost is low. The labor is billable. And keeping the existing amp and speakers makes the whole PBX migration an easier sell. That's the MSP opportunity hiding inside every paging job.
