Overview
The Wahsega IP Paging Zone Controller with InformaCast®utilizes the
power of the InformaCast Advanced Notification System for multiple
notification scenarios, from bell schedules to emergency lockdowns.
Right out of the box, the InformaCast server software will recognize and
register the Wahsega IP Paging Zone Controller with InformaCast, so it
will instantly be able to receive pages in high or low-quality audio, both
live and pre-recorded.
The IP Paging Zone Controller with InformaCast is available in single-
channel or two-channel configurations. The two-channel zone
controller presents itself to the InformaCast server as two independent
speakers, so the server can control each channel independently. This
allows the user to play two separate audio announcements over
speakers in different zones across multiple floors or multiple areas of a
building.
The Wahsega IP Paging Zone Controller with InformaCast is perfect for
schools or any other large, multi-building campus.

Quality Standards
Wahsega Labs zone controllers achieve the highest standards of
performance in the market by utilizing our complete quality assurance
program encompassing software testing, product design and a multistage
automated factory test program.
Wahsega Labs’ ultimate goal is to provide a solution that is both cost effective
and unsurpassed in quality. By leveraging existing relationships with
suppliers to guarantee premium components at the lowest possible prices,
we are able to ensure Wahsega Labs products are the finest quality in the
market while still offered at highly competitive prices directly to installers.
In order to achieve the greatest possible voice clarity, all voice and related
algorithms have been individually tested to ensure the highest potential MOS
score. The accumulated error syndrome, which can cause poor voice quality,
is mitigated through this testing process.
Wahsega Labs’ engineering team utilizes a wide array of dedicated test
servers to pull and build the various software projects multiple times per day.
Each automatic build is then run through an extensive set of automated test
cases to ensure the highest performance of each and every firmware version
released. This test case coverage is expanded on a continual basis.
All Wahsega Labs products are 100% factory tested at the board level
through a bed of nails full functional test, not just an “is it close enough?”
flying probe test. Every finished product is 100% tested again after the final
assembly via an automated test station to ensure the highest production
quality product for installers.
To assure the highest quality standards, all Wahsega Labs products are
designed, developed and manufactured in the USA.
