Zenitel has introduced its new customisable Indoor IP Speaker Kit (ZIPS-K) and Outdoor IP Speaker Kit (ZIPS-KOE), providing partners with increased flexibility to create tailored IP speaker solutions suited to various applications and project demands. The company's history with IP speaker technology dates back to 2010, and it has steadily developed its offerings to address public address, security, and operational communication needs.
The Zenitel IP Speaker Kits allow for the construction of bespoke IP speakers designed around specific form factors, acoustic requirements, and project specifications, leveraging the robust audio, networking, and management features of Zenitel's existing portfolio. This innovation permits Zenitel’s technology to be Eadapted to environments where a standard speaker design may not suffice, maintaining the expected communication capabilities inherent in a Zenitel IP audio solution.
Focus on audio and communication technology
Central to these new kits is the continued emphasis on quality audio performance, a defining characteristic of Zenitel's communication solutions. By integrating the speaker kits with suitable loudspeakers and enclosures, partners can craft solutions tailored to their applications while still benefiting from Zenitel's acclaimed audio processing and IP communication technology.
The new kits not only support custom partner solutions but also form the technological backbone for Zenitel's IP speaker portfolio, replacing previous modules and expanding the functionality of the company’s IP speakers.
Unified communication strategies
This is complemented by platforms such as Zenitel Connect and services including Zenitel Cloud RMM
This shared technology platform enables Zenitel to enhance its IP speaker range while providing partners access to this technology for specialised applications. The launch of these IP Speaker Kits, alongside Zenitel’s current IP speaker lineup, bolsters the company's Unified Critical Communication offering, facilitating comprehensive public address and communication capabilities within a unified system. This is complemented by platforms such as Zenitel Connect and services including Zenitel Cloud RMM, allowing customers to adapt their critical communication solutions as operational needs evolve.
“With the Zenitel IP Speaker Kits, we are taking the technology behind our IP speakers and making it available in a much more flexible form,” states Mikkjell Rommetveit, Senior R&D Project Manager at Zenitel. “Our partners increasingly need solutions adapted to specific environments and applications. Rather than limiting to a specific speaker design, the new kits give them the freedom to build any type of speakers while keeping Zenitel technology at the core.”
Rommetveit adds, “For us, this is also about extending the Zenitel ecosystem. Whether customers choose a complete Zenitel IP speaker or a customised speaker built with Zenitel inside, they can benefit from the same trusted foundation for critical communication.”
Zenitel, a pioneer in Unified Critical Communication solutions, announces the launch of the Indoor IP Speaker Kit (ZIPS-K) and Outdoor IP Speaker Kit (ZIPS-KOE), giving partners greater flexibility to develop customised IP speaker solutions for specific applications and project requirements.
Zenitel was an early pioneer of IP speaker technology, introducing its first IP speaker solution in 2010. Since then, the company has continuously expanded its IP speaker portfolio to address a growing range of public address, security, and operational communication requirements.
With the introduction of the Zenitel IP Speaker Kits, Zenitel takes the next step by making its IP speaker technology available as a flexible building block for customised speaker designs. IP speakers can be integrated part of Zenitel Unified Critical Communication solutions such as Zenitel Connect.
Customise IP speakers
The Zenitel IP Speaker Kits enable partners to build and customise IP speakers around specific form factors, acoustic requirements, and project needs, while leveraging the proven audio, networking, and management capabilities behind Zenitel's own IP speaker portfolio.
This allows Zenitel’s technology to be incorporated into applications where a standard speaker enclosure may not be the ideal fit, while maintaining the communication capabilities expected from a Zenitel IP audio solution.
IP communication technology
At the heart of the new kits is the same focus on audio performance that has characterised Zenitel's communication solutions for decades. By combining the speaker kits with an appropriate loudspeaker and enclosure, partners can develop solutions tailored to their application while benefiting from Zenitel's proven audio processing and IP communication technology.
The result is greater freedom in speaker design without compromising the quality and reliability required for critical communications. The new IP Speaker Kits are not only intended for customised partner solutions. They will also become the technology foundation for Zenitel's own IP speaker portfolio, replacing the existing IP module and further expanding the capabilities of Zenitel’s IP speakers.
Common technology foundation
This common technology foundation enables Zenitel to continue developing its IP speaker portfolio while giving partners access to the same underlying technology for their individual and specialised applications.
Together, the new IP Speaker Kits and Zenitel’s IP speaker portfolio further strengthen the company’s Unified Critical Communication (UCC) offering, enabling organisations to bring public address and communication capabilities into a broader, unified communication environment. Combined with platforms such as Zenitel Connect and services such as Zenitel Cloud RMM, customers can deploy, manage, and evolve their critical communication solutions as operational requirements change.
