Valcom Expands the V-ACS25 to 48-Zone
Valcom’s ACS by Valcom is a compact, scalable communications and emergency notification platform designed to blend into existing building infrastructure while delivering enterprise-grade capabilities. The base V-ACS25 unit provides reliable paging, alerting, and public-address control in a small footprint, making it ideal for classrooms, offices, clinics, and commercial environments where space and simplicity matter. The 48-zone expansion for the V-ACS25 unlocks powerful coverage, enabling precise localization of messages, selective zone playback, and synchronized emergency sequences across corridors, classrooms, reception areas, stairwells, and loading docks. With this upgrade, facilities gain enhanced reach without sacrificing the user-friendly interface, robust reliability, or straightforward installation that Valcom is known for. The expansion maintains the same compact form factor, high‑quality audio, and flexible control options, while offering scalable growth to meet evolving safety compliance needs. Whether you’re deploying routine announcements, weather alerts, lockdown procedures, or fire-emergency communications, the 48-zone extension provides the capacity to tailor messages to specific areas, reduce noise pollution, and ensure critical information reaches the right people at the right time.
- Expands V-ACS25 to up to 48 zones, delivering broad coverage and granular control over who receives each message for targeted communications across a facility.
- Compact wall-mount design preserves valuable space in control rooms, equipment closets, or utility corridors while keeping critical systems accessible and easy to manage.
- Seamless integration with existing ACS infrastructure ensures quick deployment, minimal wiring changes, and continued compatibility with current paging and alert workflows.
- Supports multiple notification modes — live paging, pre-recorded announcements, tone alerts, and scheduled messages — to fit a wide range of emergency and routine scenarios with clarity and reliability.
- Scalable architecture that grows with your safety requirements, enabling future expansions without replacing the core system.
