Offices & commercial spaces
Communication that works. Throughout the building.
Connect reception, office floors and shared spaces with a clear, manageable network audio system.
APPLICATIONS & EQUIPMENT
Designed around the way your site works.
THE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Commercial Buildings
A building may combine quiet workspaces, busy lobbies and service areas. The audio plan should match these different acoustic and operational conditions.

RECOMMENDED ARCHITECTURE
From the control room to the application zones.
Suggested SipTok models are shown in their system roles. The network, operator workflow and final configuration are planned for the application rather than implied by a product list.

Announcements
Define paging groups for Reception, Office floors, Service areas. Match the selected speakers and announcement method to each area’s acoustic and operational needs.
02
Assistance & response
Route the suggested call box or intercom to an attended operator through a compatible SIP platform. Define answering and escalation procedures separately from speaker paging.
Connection, power & commissioning notes
- Ethernet branches connect the shown IP devices to the site LAN switch. This is a connection concept, not a cable-routing or electrical wiring drawing.
- SIP handles call setup. RTP audio follows the configured media path; it does not necessarily pass through the SIP server. Multicast is a separate, model-supported paging option.
- Confirm power for each device independently. A PoE switch in this example does not establish the required PoE class, port budget or a universal one-cable installation.
- Coordinate mounting, cable routes and network power budgets with the building services team.
Photographs show actual SipTok models. This is a conceptual connection diagram; cable routes, power and final equipment are confirmed during system design.

IP audio fundamentals
What is an IP-based public address system?
An IP PA system carries announcement audio over an Internet Protocol network. Instead of taking every speaker back to a central audio amplifier, network endpoints receive digital audio and reproduce it locally.
Read the guideSystem designIP PA vs conventional PA: choosing an architecture
The choice between network audio and a conventional amplifier-based public address system depends on the site, existing infrastructure and operating requirements. Neither architecture removes the need for sound acoustic design.
Read the guidePaging & controlHow multizone IP paging works
Multizone paging lets an operator address selected areas instead of sending every message to the entire site. The useful starting point is the way people work, move and respond in those areas.
