[asterisk-users] Paging unit suggestions

[Kevin Larsen]

If you want something a little more enterprise ready and tested than a 
RaspberryPi, you might take a look at Valcom's products.

We use them for our paging and have been fairly happy with them. Only had 
one small issue that a firmware upgrade took care of.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Paging unit suggestions
 
We currently have an Asterisk system that is hooked up to our old paging 
speakers via sound card, plugged into two amps.
 
Each amp drives up to 8 analog speakers in each warehouse (we have 2). 
Both warehouses are around 30k square feet.  Both have a large number of 
printing presses.
 
The computer system is that is running Asterisk is around 10 years old and 
starting to fail.  I'm looking to replace both the system and hopefully 
move to a IP paging system, but wanted to reuse the current speakers.
 
I'm looking for suggestions on a IP based amp or similar that could drive 
the current speakers?  I was envisioning a unit that would register as a 
SIP extension then would handle auto-answer that I could send a sound file 
to.
 
Thanks for any help!

This may be insane, but it seems from what I read that you could replace 
most 10 year old boxes with a $35 Raspberry Pi.  That not being the case, 
the speakers could probably be adapted to work off of any SIP phone 
headset/handset.--
