Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
I'm looking for suggestions for an intercom or paging system for use in our cleanroom. Does anybody here have any experience with specific vendors/products that you would recommend or that you would suggest avoiding? I'm sure the use cases are pretty obvious and universal, but these are the scenarios that I'm trying to address:<br>
<br>
Possible Use Cases:<br>
1. I am a PI working from my office. I want to contact a researcher (Jane Doe) in the cleanroom. I pick up my phone, dial 555-555-5555 and receive a prompt telling me that my voice is now being broadcast through out the cleanroom. I say "Jane Doe, please call me back at ...." and wait to receive a call.<br>
<br>
or 2. I go to <a href="http://www.nanofab.utah.edu/pager" target="_blank">http://www.nanofab.utah.edu/<u></u>pager</a> (for example). I am presented with a form that allows me to enter a short message. The message is then displayed on an LED scrolling sign in the lab for several minutes to an hour.<br>
<br>
Thanks for sharing your ideas and experiences!<br>
<br>
Ryan<br>
