Transport Applications have probably the most complex needs for public address and the benefits of IP-based solutions are many. The same network infrastructure built to accommodate IP-based communication and operational technology can be utilized to build public address and notification solutions including automated announcements.
Existing paging infrastructure may be IP-enabled to avoid replacing amplifiers and speakers in good working order. Or existing infrastructure can be upgraded using PoE IP speakers. It is not unusual to see both – some existing infrastructure maintained with the addition of some IP speakers. And in some cases, it may be a phased approach from analog to pure IP.
Remote and unsupervised sites such as train stations benefit significantly from the remote management capabilities, talkback features, etc.
