ABOUT DIGITAL MESSAGING
Digital paging service is available just about everywhere in the USA fromindependent paging companies. The RAVEN System is fully compatible with all
of these paging networks. A prospective user of RAVEN Systems' products can decide to use one
of these readily available services and be up and running immediately without
the need to own transmitter hardware. The other option is to work with
RAVEN Systems to purchase or lease an on site paging system and create a local
private network.
There are a number of considerations when deciding whether or not to use an
existing network or establish your own system. Please contact RAVEN Systems for an
assessment of your specific situation. Below are some guidelines:
Advantages to using existing service:
- Available immediately.
Allows for deployment of RAVEN end
devices today.
- Vast geographic
coverage. Most public systems cover multi-state
regions allowing for deployment of devices over a large area. - No hardware to own or maintain.
- Knowledgeable vendors experienced in digital messaging.
Advantages of private networks:
- Very fast delivery of messages.
- No other users sharing your network.
- All hardware is under your control.
- No recurring monthly airtime fees.
- Works very well in small
geographic areas where a single transmitter
can cover an entire campus or small municipality.
