Public address system is widely deployed in all kinds of collective occasions, such as air and rail terminals, large-scale shopping malls, sports stadium, etc. To meet the current demands for a unified communication system, public address system is preferred to be integrated with the telephony system to streamline operations and enhance efficiency.
Snom PA1 is a SIP bridge uniting the functions of a telephone with a high-performance digital amplifier for broadcasting announcements while upgrading digital/POTs systems into SIP-based ones. Yeastar has completed interoperability testing with Snom PA1, which is to say by integrating Snom PA1 and P-Series Phone System & Yeastar S-Series VoIP PBX, our mutual customers will receive premium user experience with rich functionality from both Yeastar and Snom.
How It Works
Snom PA1 functions as a SIP extension. Once registered to the Yeastar PBX, it can be called like a regular extension to trigger announcements via the connected speaker or headset. For example, if PA1 is configured with extension number 1000, any user can simply dial 1000 to make a live announcement through the speaker connected to the Snom PA1.
This integration helps unify voice broadcasting and phone systems, providing a seamless user experience and an easy-to-manage solution.
*Special Note: Snom PA1 can register up to four SIP accounts—referred to as “identities” on Snom devices—allowing flexible broadcasting through the connected speaker.
