Description
Run a 48-zone analog paging system with talkback intercom capability and expansion options using the Valcom V-TW48, a Multi-Path controller that supports up to 48 independent speaker zones on traditional distributed speaker wiring.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The V-TW48 serves facilities that need more zones than a standard 24-zone controller provides but are not ready or willing to move to an IP-based paging infrastructure. At 48 zones, it covers large campus installations, multi-floor buildings, and manufacturing facilities that need granular zone control — page one department, one floor, one area, or all zones simultaneously — without converting existing analog speaker wiring to Ethernet. The Multi-Path system maintains compatibility with existing Valcom speakers already installed throughout the building, protecting infrastructure investment. Talkback capability enables two-way communication from specific stations back to the head-end, not just one-way broadcast. For facilities managing a phased transition from analog to IP paging, the V-TW48 provides a capable analog backbone that can coexist with IP endpoints on the same overall system.
