Algo 8180 (G2) Wideband IP Speaker for Voice Paging, Emergency Alerting & Loud Ringing – PoE

Versions:

Algo 8180 (SIP)
Algo 8180-IC (InformaCast)

The 8180 is a SIP compliant wall mount indoor speaker designed for voice paging, loud ringing, and emergency/safety/security notification and alerting. The speaker is PoE and does not require an additional amplifier. Common application environments include: classroom, factory (e.g., OSHA), warehouse, utility plant, machine shop, garage, lunch room, kitchen, etc.

Algo's G2 8180 SIP audio alerter is the next generation of the original popular 8180, and Algo is keeping the same part#. The speaker has upgraded hardware capable of running the latest security and encryptions standards, including TLS & SRTP, ensuring secure communication with hosted SIP providers.

Designed to include all the features of the original 8180, the G2 release also includes a number of new features including enhanced multicast options, a relay input for using a button, and dedicated "Emergency Alert" extensions similar to other Algo SIP endpoints such as the 8186 horn speaker, 8188/8189 ceiling speakers and 8301 Paging Adapter.

Please Note: As Algo's G2 release now runs on a new hardware platform, note that the firmware files are different compared to the original 8180. An original 8180 can therefore not use the G2 firmware. For assistance migrating provisioning files for this new device, please contact Algo support.
