Public Address Solution
WHITE PAPER
Introduction
Public Address(PA) is typically required for some factories, schools,
supermarkets, fitness centers…which will broadcast advertising
messages, audio announcements or play background music.
However, for factories, schools, supermarkets,
or fitness centers, one speaker is usually insufficient to meet the
needs of the business as normally there are multiple zones to
address, manage and monitor.
A perfect PA solution is an essential requirement for enterprises in
different industries.

Along with the development of the Internet network, high efficiency working is a target
that all enterprises are pursuing. What industries need a perfect PA solution?
Office Floors: some companies have multiple offices distributed across different
floors. If an announcement is required, anybody can initiate a call to the other office.

What industries need PA solution?
2 ZYCOO Co., Ltd
Supermarket: announcement of sales promotion or emergency announcement…
Workshop: normally a factory has many workshops across a large area and this environment can be very noisy, so an announcement from office to workshops is very necessary.
Square/park: background music in square/park.
School: announcement initiated by school leader or campus radio.
Legacy PA solution: can be deployed by non-technical staff, as it is all about cabling and we never
need to worry about compatibility with other devices. However, voice quality is lost even using
expensive cable and communications over cable are very insecure. It is a high cost but low productivity
solution for public addressing, as you have to pay for operating platform and PA specialists to standby
and control the system 24x7.

Evolution of PA Solutions
SIP PA solution: Technically it is a SIP + IP PA solution, and enjoys all the advantages that an IP PA
solution has. However, as SIP is commonly used for VoIP, there are a wide range of applications such as
computer software or apps on BYOD to choose from. The difference is SIP PA system is compatible with
all SIP devices. SIP PA system is the industry trend for its perfect compatibility and performance.
IP PA solution: Utilizes TCP/IP protocol, an IP Speaker is deployed on the IP network to provide
reliable, fast and automatic announcements and is simple to manage through a standard PC and
application. Communication data is secured to reach anywhere in our network or even internet, and
offers high definition encoded voice / audio without transmission impairments and distortion of audio
signal. The main problem however with this type of solution is that the systems are bespoke and
therefore the cost of system maintenance or expansion of the solution is high, as IP devices required are
specialized and can only be purchased from the solution provider meaning you pay a premium for them.
