Phones, PA and bells that work as one system.
Most schools have more communication hardware than they realize. We connect phones, paging, bells and alerts so one action reaches the right rooms, then keep it working.
Where school communication breaks down.
Three separate projects
Intercom, PA and phones bought at different times from different vendors.
Every announcement is all-call
No paging zones for portables, gyms and outdoor areas.
Only the office microphone
Leaders cannot page from where they are when it matters.
No visual alerts
Noisy spaces, and people who cannot hear the PA, miss the message.
Dial-only classroom phones
Phones that could act as speakers and panic endpoints, but do not.
Alerts that stop at the app
A lockdown button that never reaches speakers, phones or strobes.
One plan for every way your school communicates.
We design it, install, and support the system - extending what works and replacing only what holds you back.
Listing them does not imply a partnership with, or endorsement by, these companies.
VoIP phone systems
Set up, moved and supported, with extensions your staff can update themselves.
Paging zones and IP speakers
Reach one wing, one building or the whole campus.
Bells, strobes and alert triggers
Tied into the same system, so one action drives speakers, phones and strobes.
Ongoing support
Configuration kept current as rooms move and wings change.

7 Costly Mistakes Montana Schools Make With Phones, PA, and Alert Systems
Seven common mistakes, a better approach for each, and a checklist.
Questions about phones, PA and bells.
Do we have to replace everything?
No. IP endpoints and adapters can modernize existing systems in phases, so you do not have to wait for a remodel.
Can classroom phones be part of our alert plan?
Yes. Configured correctly, classroom phones can act as speakers and panic endpoints, not just a way to call the office.
What do Kari's Law and RAY BAUM's Act require?
Direct 911 dialing with no prefix, on-site notification when 911 is called, and a dispatchable location such as building and room.
How are phone projects priced?
Phone installs and upgrades are quoted as projects, and can be bundled with support.
