Extending Analog Partyline to Digital Partyline with LQ Series

In many facilities, an aging analog Partyline system, which still works well, may not be getting full use opportunities due to poor cabling or low equipment volume. The Version 4 release for LQ Series can breathe new life into existing analog systems.

How It Works

The Version 4 release for LQ Series adds Agent-IC and SIP functionality to a system. Analog partyline systems, like Encore, can connect directly to the LQ or LQ-R device, then through IP connect to HelixNet or FreeSpeak II. The added benefit is the Agent-IC and SIP connections - this can help a beltpack connect to a wireless mobile user or an office VoIP telephone.

Application Notes

The LQ internet interface connects analog partyline systems to IP ready solutions like HelixNet, and wireless solutions like FreeSpeak II. The additions of Agent-IC and SIP greatly extend the value and capabilities of any analog partyline offering.
