Description
The Valcom VIP-480AL-W-IC is a one-way vandal-resistant IP FlexHorn in white with InformaCast certification. Steel mesh security baffle, tamper-resistant mounting screws, and PoE power over a single Ethernet cable — with direct compatibility for Cisco and Singlewire InformaCast emergency notification and mass paging systems.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The white InformaCast version is the most commonly specified VIP-480AL for K-12 schools running InformaCast for emergency alerting. It blends into standard white corridor and classroom walls while delivering the vandal resistance needed in student-accessible locations. If InformaCast is not in the picture, the base VIP-480AL-W saves money with the same hardware without the IC certification.
