Valcom Expands the V-ACS45 to 48-Zones
Valcom’s 48-zone expansion module for the V-ACS45 delivers a scalable upgrade path for facilities expanding their paging and intercom capabilities. By adding three additional zones, this expansion preserves your existing hardware while unlocking greater reach, more granular announcements, and faster emergency alerts across larger campuses, office complexes, hospitals, and multi-building facilities. This upgrade is designed to be a non-disruptive enhancement, allowing you to extend your current system without the costs, downtime, or complexity of a full replacement.
With the 48-zones expansion, operators gain precise control over where and when messages are heard. Whether you’re coordinating campus-wide announcements, directing staff to specific departments, or delivering time-sensitive alerts to critical zones, the expansion module ensures your communications are clear, timely, and correctly targeted. It’s a practical solution for growing organizations that need to preserve their existing Valcom infrastructure while unlocking additional capacity for growth, safety, and operational efficiency.
- Seamless capacity increase from 45 to 48 zones, enabling finer control over announcements and alerts across multiple areas. This expansion supports more granular paging for classrooms, offices, corridors, work cells, and auxiliary spaces, reducing the risk of misdirected messages.
- Preserves your current V-ACS45 hardware, eliminating the need for expensive, disruptive replacement projects. You maintain your investment while upgrading performance, licensing, and functionality.
- Ideal for growing facilities such as campuses, large offices, healthcare environments, hotels, manufacturing sites, and government campuses. The extra zones help you tailor communication to evolving layouts and staffing patterns.
- Enhances paging precision and reduces cross-zone interference by leveraging dedicated zone expansion capabilities. The result is clearer messages, quicker responses, and improved situational awareness during routine operations and emergencies.
- Simple upgrade process with minimal downtime and straightforward integration with existing Valcom infrastructure. The expansion is designed to slot into your current paging and intercom network without major reconfiguration.
