On a typical Monday, a principal needs to run the 8:00 a.m. bell, announce a bus reroute, and be ready if a lockdown is called. The system has to work every time across classrooms, halls, and fields. That’s why districts and universities are replacing patchwork paging with a modern, districtwide school notification system that’s easy to use, meets mandates, and makes the most of bond dollars.

Below, you’ll find clear best practices and a simple plan to move forward (sometimes without ripping and replacing what already works). Before going any further, we must acknowledge the seriousness and vulnerabilities that surround schools, teachers, parents, and most importantly, the children, and the goal of this article is to help find solutions and not prey on fear.

What Your School Mass Notification System Must Do and Why It Matters

A strong foundation of safety starts with simple, reliable outcomes:

• Send the right alert to the right places, fast. An emergency warning should be a simple, single-click, and consistent across sites. Centralized tools help schools follow their safety plans and keep records that support compliance. SchoolSafety.gov was built by the Federal School Safety Clearinghouse (ED, DHS, DOJ, HHS) to guide districts on this kind of planning.

• Handle the mundane everyday tasks, too. Bells, late-start schedules, drills, and announcements should be easy to schedule and repeat so your staff stays focused on students. CyberData’s Terminus Cloud Control™ unifies emergency and routine notifications in one web dashboard with device health and diagnostics.

• Works across old and new gear. Most campuses have legacy 25V/70V speakers. CyberData’s SIP 25V/70V Hybrid Amplifier bridges analog speakers with IP networks so you can upgrade in phases, not all at once.

• Proven reliability and support. A five-year hardware warranty and a clear RMA process reduce risk during multi-year deployments, keeping procurement comfortable. 

School Safety and Compliance: Speak the Language of Approvals

When your school board, superintendent, or safety committee asks, “Does this school notification system meet standards?,” you should be ready.

• Follow federal best practices. CISA’s K-12 School Security Guide recommends a layered, systems-based approach to alerts and communications. With a comprehensive solution like Terminus, that’s exactly what districtwide notifications look like.

• Align with OSHA for employee alarms. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.165 covers employee alarm systems, including maintenance and testing, and uses centralized tools to standardize procedures and logs across campuses.

• Reference NFPA guidance. NFPA 72 (Chapter 24) addresses Emergency Communications Systems for educational occupancies, and your plan should consider intelligibility, coverage, and routine testing.

• Know your state mandates. Many states have adopted or are considering “Alyssa’s Law,” which calls for panic alerting that connects directly to first responders, so you must plan for integration as requirements evolve.

The fact is that even though it may seem like you’re covered based on the school notification system you already have, that may not be the case. By referring to these regulations at the forefront, it’ll only make your proposal stronger and help bond committees see that your plan is both practical and compliant. 

Emergency Communication Best Practices for K-12 Schools and Higher Ed

Start with a simple, shared plan

Create a short list of emergencies you must cover, zones you’ll target (classrooms, perimeter, common areas), who can send, and how you’ll log events. CISA’s K-12 guide and assessment tool are a good starting point.

Reuse what works; upgrade where it counts

Keep functional analog speakers and connect them with CyberData’s SIP 25V/70V Hybrid Amplifier. Add IP endpoints where you need smarter zoning, PoE power, visual strobes, or outdoor coverage. This phased approach cuts retrofitting costs and avoids big wiring projects.

Centralize control across every site

One cloud dashboard helps you send campus notifications for events, schedule routine bells, and keep device settings in sync, school by school or districtwide. CyberData’s Terminus Cloud Control™ was built to manage emergency and nonemergency notifications and to control CyberData devices at scale.

Monitor device health to cut downtime

Real-time diagnostics help to address critical issues before a drill fails. Terminus provides status alerts, firmware management, and reporting, which reduce truck rolls and keep you ready for the next drill or event.

Standardize and document

Use consistent message templates, roles, and permissions. Keep a one-page runbook for OSHA/NFPA alignment and recordkeeping. Centralizing logs makes audits easier and speeds approvals.

ROI that bond decision-makers care about

When you’re evaluating vendors, ask how they improve total cost of ownership (TCO) over 5–10 years:

• Phased migration saves money from the start. Bridging analog and IP lets you keep legacy PA systems and speakers and wiring now and add IP endpoints later.

• Fewer truck rolls = lower maintenance costs. Remote diagnostics and fleet updates reduce site visits across large districts and multi-building campuses.

• Five-year warranty reduces lifecycle risk. CyberData recently extended warranties to five years, which simplifies multi-year budgeting and lowers risk on long projects.

• Free design support reduces pre-sales friction. CyberData’s in-house team reviews floor plans, delivers a bill of materials (BOM) with MSRP, and provides network diagrams at no cost to you so your quotes are accurate and fast.

• U.S. engineering and TAA compliance help procurement. CyberData designs and manufactures in Monterey, California, with Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance for public sector purchasing.

Why Schools Choose CyberData

CyberData combines purpose-built hardware with cloud management to keep people safe, informed, and connected, backed by a five-year warranty. 

• All-in-one approach. Manage alerts and devices in one place with Terminus Cloud Control™, including emergency and day-to-day messages plus diagnostics.

• Hybrid hardware that meets you where you are. The SIP 25V/70V Hybrid Amplifier ties hundreds of analog speakers into your network and supports multicast for site-wide announcements.

• Design help that speeds approvals. Free Design Services deliver floor-plan placement, BOMs, and diagrams that make it easier to move through committees and bond checkpoints.

• Proven reliability. CyberData’s U.S. team has over 50 years of engineering and manufacturing experience and now offers a market-leading five-year warranty with a clear RMA path when you need it.

A Quick, Step-by-Step Path for Your District or Campus

Step 1: Define your goals. List required emergency scenarios, routine needs (bells, early release), and zones for each site.

Step 2: Send us your floor plans. CyberData’s Free Design Services will place school notification system devices properly for optimal coverage, provide a ready-to-order BOM with MSRP, and share network diagrams so you can compare options and move fast.

Step 3: Start hybrid. Keep legacy speakers via the SIP 25V/70V Hybrid Amplifier; add IP speakers, call buttons, and strobes where you need smarter zones or visual alerting.

Step 4: Centralize with Terminus. Use Terminus Cloud Control™ to send districtwide alerts, schedule bells, and monitor device health across all schools from one browser. 

Step 5: Document and train. Create simple-to-follow instructions with clear workflows and drill schedules. Keep firmware and settings current through the cloud. This supports OSHA/NFPA alignment and makes audits easier. 

Reduce Communication Challenges and Keep Everyone Safe

Your goal is clear: protect students and staff without adding busywork. A modern campus notification and education emergency communication platform should help you do both by unifying alerts, reusing what you have, and giving you one place to manage it all. When it comes to notifications during an emergency, knowing you’re covered instead of hoping you are will be the difference in the severity of the outcome.

If you’re ready to map out a safer, smarter school notification system, start with a free design review. You’ll get a practical emergency notification plan you can bring straight to your superintendent and board.

On a busy retail floor during Black Friday, or at shift change in a noisy plant, you don’t get a second chance to reach everyone. If your enterprise paging system can’t scale across locations or, worse still, cracks under a heavy user load, you'll definitely feel it in safety risks, downtime, and frustrated teams. Can you take the risk that a notification may not send properly?

This question isn’t meant to be a scare tactic, because there are plenty of announcements sent that are of lower priority and, if missed, would be annoying but not earth-shattering. Here’s the thing, though: can you confidently predict when your current system will hiccup and misfire? In any other scenario, getting a 90 percent completion rate would be well above acceptable, but in an emergency scenario, 90 might as well be zero. 

Take a journey with us through the rest of this article to learn in more detail what makes an enterprise paging system worth its weight in gold and why CyberData should be at the top of your list.

What Makes a Paging System “Enterprise Grade” with Clear Communication

Now, let’s take a high-level view because enterprise grade paging equals more than flashy features. It’s about outcomes that hold up at scale:

1. Centralized control across sites. You need to trigger an alert, record a message, or change a schedule for one building, or fifty, from a single dashboard. Terminus Cloud Control™ was built for this kind of management, including emergency and non-emergency notifications in one interface.

2. Hybrid compatibility. Most large organizations operate a mix of legacy analog and modern IP systems. A truly enterprise system plugs into both, so you can migrate in phases, not all at once, and CyberData’s SIP 25V/70V Hybrid Amplifier was designed to bridge those worlds.

3. Reliability you can count on. Hardware should be durable and covered. CyberData now backs its devices with an industry-leading five-year warranty, which lowers the total cost of ownership and builds confidence for long-term rollouts.

4. Clear support path and design help. Big deployments require extensive planning. CyberData’s in-house Free Design Services team reviews floor plans, provides BOMs, and shares network diagrams to limit the unknown risks within projects before you buy.

5. Built for real operations. With over 50 years of engineering and manufacturing experience, including TAA compliance, CyberData’s devices are known for quality, reliability, and ease of use.

Why Scalability Is Nonnegotiable for Multi-Site Operations and IP Paging

If you run a school district, warehouse network, or multi-campus enterprise, “send once, reach everywhere” is the entire purpose of a notification solution. CyberData created Terminus to fill that gap, allowing organizations to manage alerts and devices across virtually unlimited facilities and endpoints from the cloud, so that you don’t need a different process for every building or facility. That centralized approach is key to our shift from “parts and pieces” to full solutions for retail, education, warehousing, and manufacturing.

In constructive terms, that means:

• One place to manage paging zones and priorities.

• One place to monitor device health and push updates.

• One place to automate routine tones, bells, and announcements for every site.

Practical results include fewer logins, faster incident response, and less configuration drift between locations.

The High Cost of Unreliable Overhead Paging Systems

An unreliable enterprise paging system is more than just another annoying malfunctioning mechanism that can be made right next time; it creates real risk. If a speaker fails or an amp overheats, you may not know until someone complains. Truck rolls and manual resets add up, especially when sites are spread out.

Terminus Cloud Control™ changes that with real-time device monitoring, diagnostics, and alerts, so your team can spot and resolve issues before they impact safety or operations. Firmware and configuration updates can be pushed across groups, cutting hands-on maintenance and travel time.

Pair that device management efficiency with a five-year warranty on endpoints, and you get a long runway of predictable performance and easier budgeting for Procurement and Operations.

Hybrid SIP Paging: Bridging the Gap Between Analog and IP

You don’t have to tear out legacy speakers to modernize, either. CyberData’s SIP Paging 25V/70V Amplifier (011579) is an analog/IP hybrid that can support hundreds of speakers on a network while participating in IP multicast groups for site-wide info blasts. That’s the best of both worlds: reuse your existing speakers and wiring, then layer on IP endpoints where you need smarter coverage, and upgrade your speakers when you're ready.

Why it matters:

• Scales big: Supports one analog zone with hundreds of speakers; add units for more zones. Power capacity depends on tap settings and baseline voltage.

• Flexible paging: Up to 100 DTMF-controlled paging groups, prioritization, night ringer function, and delayed pages for call buffering.

• Smart scheduling: A built-in, calendar-based scheduler for bells and prerecorded messages.

• Secure and manageable: HTTPS configuration, TLS 1.2/SRTP support, and device health events for monitoring.

This is the best path that encompasses the needs of a facility paging system and spans analog and SIP/IP.

Centralized Control with Terminus Cloud Control™

When seconds count, you want a simple, consistent workflow. Terminus Cloud Control™ unifies emergency alerts, routine announcements, and device management in one web dashboard. From any browser, authorized users can:

• Send critical notifications to the right zones immediately.

• Schedule routine messages (such as bells, safety reminders, and promotions) and automate actions based on time, location, or specific triggers.

• Monitor device health and receive real-time alerts when any changes occur.

• Update firmware and settings across your fleet to keep it current.

Because Terminus is built to manage and control CyberData VoIP endpoints (speakers, intercoms, call/alert buttons), you reduce vendor confusion and integration headaches. It supports day-to-day operations in education, manufacturing, warehousing, and retail, and scales as your footprint expands.

Pro tip: If you’re pursuing OSHA or NFPA alignment, centralizing control and records helps standardize how you send and log alerts. For context, review OSHA 1910.165 for employee alarm systems and NFPA 72 for fire alarm and signaling regulatory best practices.

5-Year Warranty and Beyond: What Reliability Really Means in Intercom Systems

Uptime is a promise you make to your people. CyberData backs that promise with a five-year product warranty across its portfolio, plus a well-defined RMA process supported by a live technical team. That dynamic duo of support reduces the risks in long-term, multi-site deployments.

Under the hood, you’re also investing in a company with deep engineering and manufacturing roots in the U.S., and a reputation for quality, reliability, and durability. This is key when devices live in tough environments.

Choosing a Business Paging Solution That Grows with You

If you’re evaluating a business paging solution for a global or multi-campus rollout, use this simple plan:

1. Start with goals, not hardware. Do you need emergency lockdowns, routine bells, theft deterrence announcements, or all of the above? List your zones, audiences, and triggers. Then map messages to each.

2. Reuse what works; replace what doesn’t. Where analog speakers still deliver, keep them and use the Hybrid Amplifier to integrate with SIP. Add IP endpoints where you need smarter zoning, PoE power, or visual alerting.

3. Centralize management from day one. Use Terminus to create consistent send workflows, schedule routine messages, and monitor device health across every facility so no site gets left behind.

4. Lean on experts to increase design impact. Upload floor plans to CyberData’s Free Design Services team for device placement, BOMs with MSRP, and network diagrams. You’ll move faster and avoid costly rework.

5. Document compliance and service paths. Standardize roles and permissions in Terminus. Keep a simple runbook for OSHA/NFPA alignment, firmware policies, and RMA steps so new sites come online smoothly.

Valuable Use Case Scenarios

Education

No matter where you live, every educational institution can benefit from districtwide bells and emergency notices from one cloud dashboard, plus health monitoring of devices campus-by-campus. Each school can have its own login and execute safety plans, or the district office can send a notification or alert. The Hybrid Amplifier allows you to retain existing 70V speakers while adding smart IP endpoints where needed, as flexibility is key.

Manufacturing and Warehousing

Loud environments demand clear tones and flexible zones. Combine scheduled safety reminders with instant pages for loading docks and mezzanines, and utilize device diagnostics to keep operations moving smoothly.

Retail

Roll out promo announcements and safety callouts to every store from HQ in minutes. Standardize on managed endpoints to reduce IT tickets and speed new-store openings.

Monterey, CA - CyberData Corporation has released an enhanced version of their popular SIP Paging Server with Bell Scheduler with a host of new features and updates that have substantially improved the device and user experience.

CyberData’s SIP Paging Server enables users through a single SIP phone extension, to access multiple zones for paging in a VoIP network and to connect to legacy analog overhead paging systems. The SIP Paging Server has now been updated with features such as enhanced calendar support for the Bell Scheduler, call-in recording for stored messages, and user creation and multi-user login. Multiple users can now be created on CyberData devices and user privileges can be controlled by the admin account to restrict access to only specific pages.

This is the most significant suite of upgrades ever released for the SIP Paging Server. Feedback from CyberData’s Certified Reseller and Installer Channel has been instrumental in the implementation of these new features. That feedback provided CyberData with direction in terms of new features that would provide an easier-to-use event scheduler with color coordination for easy user management. Reoccurring event generation based on time, day of the week, or day of the month is also easier to set up, and the schedules can be stored directly on the paging server, without needing to manage files separately.

Users will also be able to add Wi-Fi Alert Buttons (PN#011527) that, when pressed, create an event that then generates an appropriate mass notification response, a key component for any emergency notification solution.

“When we first added bell scheduling software to the SIP Paging Server a few years back, we wanted to deliver a device that enabled users to schedule bells and announcements as well as provide zone paging through a single SIP extension as an alternative to traditional bell scheduling systems,” said Phil Lembo, President and CEO of CyberData. He continued, “With the help of our Certified Resellers and Installers, we’ve been able to improve the device with more user-requested features, and these upgrades are available free to current users based on their serial number.”

Users who have purchased the SIP Paging Server with Bell Scheduler in the past two years, and have a unit with a serial number that begins with 1462 can upgrade their device with these latest features by going to the product page for the device.

Monterey, CA – CyberData has announced exciting news regarding their SIP and InformaCast-Enabled speakers that is sure to make customers happy. This news focuses on new features and a new look to their popular speakers.

In late fall of 2022, CyberData embarked on a project to add the following features to their current 011394 SIP Speaker and 011396 InformaCast-Enabled Speaker:

• Audio health check
• Ambient noise compensation
• Talk-back capability

CyberData’s SIP & InformaCast
Speakers have a new look!

The 011394 SIP Speaker and 011396 InformaCast-Enabled Speaker will now ship with these additional features and there is no change in pricing.

“In today’s environment, knowing that emergency communications are reaching the intended audience is crucial. Adding an audio health check to these speakers lets our customers verify that their devices are online and working. This and other enhancements will provide our customers with a more feature-rich paging solution without an increase in the cost,” said Phil Lembo, President & CEO of CyberData. He continued, “We’re focused on the future and how current offerings fit within our long-term strategic goals. This update just makes sense.” Mr Lembo added that the Speakers have also gotten a new look and their product names have been revised to reflect their new functionality.

Though the speakers have received a facelift, the measurements of the speakers are exactly the same, and these devices will still fit within the CyberData Speaker Mounts. Additionally, the 011121 Auxiliary Analog Speaker, which connects to a SIP or InformaCast Speaker to expand coverage, will receive the same new design features.

CyberData also announced they will be migrating the current talk-back variants of their SIP and InformaCast-Enabled Speakers to End of Life:

• 011398 SIP Talk-Back Speaker – replaced by 011394 SIP Speaker with Talk-Back
• 011400 InformaCast-Enabled Talk-Back Speaker – replaced by 011396 InformaCast-Enabled Speaker with Talk- Back

“Regroup’s Mass Notification® software offers an incredible reservoir of features, and this integration demonstrates how our SIP endpoints can work with Regroup to deliver a cohesive unified communication solution. In addition to being able to communicate general and scheduled events, Regroup’s software offers customers the ability to add notifications for events such as safety drills, severe weather alerts, or local health warnings,” said Phil Lembo, President & CEO of CyberData.

Mr. Lembo and the team at CyberData have been enthusiastic about this integration, with Lembo extolling the ease-of-use of Regroup’s software and what it can deliver to customers. He added, “The user interface is truly intuitive and coupled with CyberData’s SIP endpoints, offers a compelling easy-to-use solution that keeps both on-site and mobile workforces informed of general and critical events in their area.”

April 19, 2022 - Monterey, CA – CyberData Corporation has announced the release of their latest SIP-enabled access control device, the SIP Dual Relay Controller. The 011484 SIP Dual Relay Controller manages two high amperage relays for the locking and unlocking of doors or gates and can create a notification based on the activation and deactivation of a sensor, such as for humidity, moisture, or heat. The device works as part of a network-managed IP security infrastructure designed for use in areas where additional security is required or where the presence of a person or a two-way communication device is not available.

Secure Access

As a secure access device, a user can enter a DTMF code on their VoIP phone or press a doorbell or remote call button, such as CyberData’s 011508 Remote Call Button (purchased separately) to activate the relay and unlock the door for entry.

Notification

When a visitor presses a doorbell or a sensor is activated, the 011484 SIP Dual Relay Controller makes a SIP call and plays a stored audio message via multicast over endpoints such as, “visitor at door two” or “heat sensor alert, network room three”. Users can then activate the relay to take additional action such as turning on a fan by entering a DTMF on a VoIP phone or utilizing a separately purchased doorbell or remote call button.

It has been a busy year for CyberData, and this is the third release for the long-established IP endpoint company. “Between COVID and supply chain issues, it’s been a chaotic past two years. Fortunately, we have not been impacted by these interruptions, giving us time to finetune our goals and strategy in determining CyberData’s direction in the next 3, 5, and even 10 years down the road,” said Phil Lembo, President & CEO of CyberData. He continued, “I see IoT – Internet of Things – increasing with importance as part of a comprehensive notification and secure access solution for any organization, regardless of size. The new SIP Dual Relay Controller is a step in that direction. The relays can manage doors for secure access, as well as give users the option to activate a device upon receipt of a notification that a sensor was triggered.”

CyberData will begin shipping the SIP Dual Relay Controller immediately. For more information, please visit www.cyberdata.net.

March 2022 Monterey, CA – CyberData Corporation, celebrating its 48th year in business, announced today the release of a new SIP-enabled Indoor Intercom offering touch-free two-way communication and access control, all with a wave of the hand.

CyberData’s SIP Hand Wave Indoor Intercom offers the ability to make a phone call and engage in a two-way conversation by simply waving your hand. The new Intercom is designed for interior spaces requiring an increased level of security such as within medical facilities and research laboratories, retail establishments, schools, and universities.

CyberData leads the industry when it comes to developing and delivering quality SIP-enabled endpoints such as speakers and intercoms that utilize the VoIP network to facilitate two-way communication, paging, emergency notification and access control. With optimism for the new year, CyberData is focused on expanding their product line with new offerings to reflect the new functions and features required due to a global pandemic, such as distancing and touch-free communication. Following almost two years of successfully delivering product to customers in a tumultuous and uncertain environment, CyberData has utilized the time to develop new devices scheduled for release in 2022, and expand new programs, such as the Reseller & Installer Certification Program launched in late 2020.

“We had a better-than-expected 2021, and that has allowed us to focus time and resources on some new releases and additional offerings,” stated Phil Lembo, President & CEO of CyberData. “We’ve heard from customers wanting Intercom options that reflect new health and safety protocols, and our new touch-free Intercom delivers the communication functionality they need, while adhering to stricter safety protocols around two-way communication and access control. Having a device that can allow for a conversation or provide notification of a visitor just by waving your hand, is pretty desirable for a host of environments,” he continued.

A video-enabled version, the SIP h.264 Video Hand Wave Indoor Intercom, is scheduled for release in the spring and provides for h.264 video communication with a 72-degree field of view. Both Intercoms offer clear two-way audio, increasing the security of any VoIP installation.

CyberData will begin shipping the SIP Hand Wave Indoor Intercom immediately, with the SIP h.264 Video Hand Wave Indoor Intercom following in April. For more information, please visit www.cyberdata.net.
