Algo IP Paging Adapters
What is the difference between the Algo 8301, 8305 8373 paging adapters?
Unlock Increased Connectivity
Use Algo IP paging adapters to retain legacy infrastructure while adding new technology to create hybrid, scalable environments for voice paging and emergency alerting.
Algo IP paging adapters use SIP, multicast, APIs, and smart relays to create more robust and reliable paging systems. Adapters can connect to legacy amplifiers, phones, speakers, and communication systems enabling integration with VoIP and UCaaS platforms.

Flexible for Any Paging Environment
Effectively modernize analog paging environments without replacing legacy infrastructure. Whether it’s functional PA infrastructure, such as analog speakers and amplifiers, retain legacy devices for as long as they can last while connecting to IP devices, VoIP systems, or UCaaS platforms.
Here’s what integrating an Algo paging adapter looks like:
- Connect to legacy environments: Unlock connections to modern technology while keeping your existing legacy amplifiers, phones, speakers, and communication systems in place.
- Create a hybrid environment: Keep up with modern technology in a cost-efficient way by using SIP, multicast, and APIs to connect IP devices and cloud platforms.
- Transition to a full IP environment: As you begin to need to replace old equipment, you’re able to opt to use IP endpoints that will continue to enhance your ability to maintain and manage a robust paging system.

Scale with Multicast
Scaling indoor and outdoor environments of any size is easy. With a full deployment of SIP-compliant endpoints, Algo IP paging adapters can be configured as a multicast transmitter to communicate with each device on the network.
When configured as a multicast sender, Algo IP paging adapters can be safely locked in a secure room to prevent tampering and transmit messages to other IP devices across the network. Multicast also allows you to save on SIP licensing costs as only the paging adapter configured as a multicast sender requires registration.
Optimize Your IP Paging
Broadcast voice paging and emergency alerts over speakers and initiate visual devices like strobe lights. Set scheduled bells, pre-recorded announcements, background music and emergency alerts via web interface. You can also configure and set simple triggers to play these audio files quickly. For a more robust system, integrate Algo IP paging adapters with UCaaS and mass communication platforms, such as Singlewire InformaCast, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom.
MS Teams
Zoom
As Zoom-compatible devices, Algo IP Paging Adapters configure through Zoom One, Zoom’s integrated VoIP phone system, to deliver IP paging and audio solutions to traditional paging systems. Algo IP Paging Adapters deploy within Zoom’s cloud-based communication platform to bridge IP to analog systems.
RingCentral
Algo IP Paging Adapters function seamlessly in RingCentral’s cloud-based communication platform, broadcasting IP paging and audio alerts to legacy amplifiers and analog speakers. Organizations provision paging adapters as a paging device or DigitalLine on the RingCentral platform.
Cisco
Algo IP Paging Adapters integrate with Cisco’s communication and collaboration solutions to bridge IP systems to legacy environments. When deployed within Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) or Cisco Webex, Algo paging adapters can enable legacy amplifiers and analog speakers to broadcast audio paging, announcements, and emergency notifications.
8X8
Algo IP Speakers can be deployed within the 8×8 unified communication platform to deliver effective audio paging, announcements, and notifications. While audio is playing over the IP speakers, it can simultaneously be broadcast over 8×8 telephones. Algo speakers can integrate into 8×8 via SIP or via multicast.
GoTo
Algo IP Speakers are used in conjunction with GoTo to provide clear audio output during paging and alerting and can be registered into the GoToConnect platform. Any GoTo telephone supporting RTP multicast will permit audio from voice paging, notification, alerting, and scheduled announcements to be simultaneously broadcast over Algo PoE Speakers and GoTo telephones.
More Partners
Algo IP Paging Adapters can seamlessly integrate with a wide range of systems and collaboration platforms, effectively delivering IP solutions to analog environments. Organizations can deploy Algo paging adapters to upgrade their communication environment to IP systems with a collaboration partner of choice.
