One Page, Heard Everywhere It Needs to Be
When the bell schedule changes, when a wing goes into lockdown, or when the front office needs to reach every classroom at once, the message has to land on every speaker and every phone in the same second. An IP paging system makes that happen over the network you already run, so telephony and overhead paging live in one package instead of two separate systems nobody maintains.
True IP Solutions installs scalable IP paging for K-12 districts, county and local government, healthcare facilities, and multi-site businesses across North Carolina. We integrate with your existing overhead system using SIP-based paging adapters, so you get an all-in-one VoIP package that combines phones and paging. Our paging work has given flexibility and functionality to school districts, car dealerships, and food processing plants across the United States.
What Modern IP Paging Gives You
This is not the dusty analog system you remember. Network-based IP paging installs faster and more flexibly than traditional wired systems, and it eliminates the need to run separate voice and data networks.
- Phones double as paging and intercom. Any IP phone can page a zone or run as a two-way intercom, so you do not buy a separate device for every room.
- IP multicast paging. Phones and speakers listen to one broadcast address instead of each device taking a separate SIP call, which scales cleanly across a large building or campus.
- Works with your existing speakers. Integrates with most existing overhead paging systems, so you keep the speakers you have where you can.
- Bell scheduling. Time-clock chimes for class changes, shift changes, and breaks, on the schedule you set.
- Flexible zones and mapping. Page one classroom, one wing, one building, or the entire district, and remap zones as your needs change.
- Mass notification. Push an alert for a pending action or event to every endpoint at once.
- Security integration. Tie paging into IP cameras and access control so a single event can announce, lock, and flag footage together.
We build with equipment from industry leaders including Algo, Snom, Valcom, and Cyberdata.
Built for K-12 Schools
Schools live and die by the bell, and they have to be able to reach everyone the instant something goes wrong.
- Automated bell schedules. Run class-change and period chimes automatically across every building on the calendar you set, including special schedules for early release and testing days.
- All-call and zone paging. Reach every classroom at once, or one wing, from the front office phone.
- Lockdown announcements. Push a lockdown message to every speaker and phone in one action, and tie it to access control so doors lock at the same time.
- Outdoor coverage. Extend paging to fields, parking lots, and bus loops so a message reaches students outside the building.
- District-wide reach. Page across multiple campuses from one system when a district-wide message is needed.
Kari’s Law and Life-Safety Compliance
Paging and the phone system it lives in carry real legal obligations. Kari’s Law requires that any caller can dial 911 directly, with no prefix, from any phone. Ray Baum’s Act requires that a 911 call delivers a dispatchable location, so responders reach the right room in a large building, not just the street address. We design the phone and paging system to meet both, and we coordinate paging with your mass notification plan so an emergency reaches people on speakers, phones, text, and email at once.
Built Beyond the Classroom
The same platform serves any facility that needs to reach people across a large space.
- County and local government. Page across a courthouse, an annex, or a public works yard, with zones that match how the building is used.
- Healthcare. Overhead and intercom coverage for clinics and facilities, integrated with the phone system staff already use.
- Multi-site businesses. Dealerships, processing plants, and warehouses get bell or shift chimes, zone paging, and intercom across the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP paging system?
An IP paging system delivers paging and intercom over your data network instead of separate analog wiring. IP phones can page zones, speakers and phones can listen to a multicast broadcast, and the system integrates with most existing overhead speakers, so you get phones and paging in one package.
Can it run our school bell schedule?
Yes. The system runs automated time-clock chimes for class changes, breaks, and shift changes on the calendar you set, including special schedules for early-release and testing days, across one building or an entire district.
Does it work with the overhead speakers we already have?
In most cases, yes. Our SIP-based paging adapters integrate with most existing overhead paging systems, so you can keep the speakers you have where they work and add IP endpoints where you need them.
How does paging support a lockdown?
A lockdown announcement can be pushed to every speaker and phone in one action, and the same event can tie into access control to lock doors and into cameras to flag footage, so the announcement, the locks, and the recording happen together.
Does IP paging help with Kari’s Law and Ray Baum’s Act compliance?
The phone system the paging lives in is designed so any caller can dial 911 directly with no prefix, as Kari’s Law requires, and so a 911 call delivers a dispatchable location under Ray Baum’s Act. We design paging and telephony together to meet both.
What equipment do you use for paging?
We build with equipment from industry leaders including Algo, Snom, Valcom, and Cyberdata, and we specify the mix per site based on your speakers, your buildings, and your coverage needs.
Do you install paging near Wilmington, NC?
Yes. True IP Solutions is based near Wilmington with a satellite office in Clinton, NC, and we install IP paging for schools, government, healthcare, and businesses across North Carolina and nationwide.
