The SIP Horn connects into local area networks with a single CAT 5/6 cable from your PoE switch and provides an easy method for implementing a loud IP-based overhead paging system for loud areas such as warehouses, manufacturing floors and outdoor areas.
The interface is compatible with most IP PBX servers that comply with the SIP RFC 3261. For non-SIP environments, the speaker can be configured to listen to multicast address and port number combinations to form paging zones.
The unique perforated front screen prevents birds and flying insects, such as wasps, from building nests inside the Horn thus eliminating the need for periodic clean out.

IP multicast is a technique for one-to-many communication over a local IP network. IGMP multicast is sent via UDP packets from a multicast server to a multicast receiver. This stream scales to a larger receiver population by not requiring prior knowledge of who or how many receivers there are. Multicast uses network infrastructure efficiently by requiring the source to send a packet only once, even if it needs to be delivered to many receivers. The network replicates the packet in order to reach multiple receivers only when necessary.
Multicast is a great alternative to SIP registration as it does not require that the recipient of the stream to register as an extension on an IP-PBX server.
CyberData products support both regular IGMP multicast as well as proprietary Polycom Group Paging.
