I think nearly anyone that has seen the Algo audio alerting devices has wondered what a group of them would sound like when they are positioned together.
Recently here at ProVu we got to group 38 Algo devices together and set them up to listen on multicast.
We were impressed with the kit and the result, the audio setting was left untouched so they are set to the default (I think it is 4 and goes up to 10) so they can become louder if required.
What do you think?

Securing voice traffic in a hosted telephony environment is a core requirement for any business to survive. Consequently it’s important that IP communication is managed and secured properly. Many hosted telephony providers from around the world deal with 100’s of products from different manufacturers, however without interop testing and secure networks, device compatibility can be hard to assess. With Sangoma’s E-SBCs, device interoperability can be simplified as it offers a secure enhancement to hosted VoIP deployments, acting as a medium between devices.
Here’s some of the key features of Sangoma’s SBCs:
Ultimately Sangoma’s E-SBCs allow service providers to take advantage of all IP communications
offerings, without compromising security, service quality, reliability and/or availability.
Sangoma offer a range of Enterprise SBCs with support for 5 up to 250 sessions and their carrier
models can handle up to total of 4000 sessions.

Please note; this is only a prediction and our ability to supply this model is ultimately dependent upon the orders we receive. Once our stock has run out we will be unable to replenish it.
Up to date stock availability can be seen on ProSys.
I have just accidentally discovered a very strange bug (or feature?) on a snom phone.
It affects 8.7.5.35 firmware and possibly others. When tested on firmware 8.7.5.13 this doesn’t occur.
If you set up a SIP account, any SIP account (doesn’t even have to be a real working one) and the SIP password contains the word “monkey”, you get the following error message and the account will not work:
I have informed Snom about this. I’ve never had a customer reporting this problem, it is just funny.
The Gigaset C430H has been updated and has changed to the C430HX. The C430HX looks identical to its predecessor and there is no change to the pricing. The only difference between the two models is the C430HX includes Cat IQ 2.0 technology and supports HD voice.

Algo has produced an interesting, easy to follow video with the features and benefits of the Algo 8186 SIP Horn Speaker.
The Algo 8186 is a weatherproof SIP horn speaker which is suitable for voice paging and loud ringing in both indoor and outdoor environments.
We launched the Algo 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker back in January which joined our expanding range of Algo paging and alerting devices. This SIP ceiling speaker can integrate natively with Polycom™ Group Page for overhead announcements.
The 8188 provides additional coverage in common areas or where sound reinforcement is needed, like classrooms, lobbies or hallways. The 8188 can also be configured to join Polycom paging groups or zones.
Polycom Group Page has no dependency on a SIP server and therefore the 8188 also integrates seamlessly with Skype™ for Business/Lync™.

Algo paging endpoints have multicast broadcast capability. While paging or alerting, they can simultaneously multicast over the network.
