The Visiplex systems uses a FCC approved paging band to send the voice and data information to all of its wirelessly controlled devices and use the needed transmission power, to provide full coverage to any facility size. Visiplex systems are installed in some of the largest commercial sites, universities, medical centers and government facilities in the country utilizing one transmitter to provide full radio transmission coverage.

A wireless alert system coverage is impacted by construction materials, certain shielded areas, antenna positioning, antenna height and overall transmitter power. For example, an small school building of up to 10,000 SF, could be covered with a low-power transmitter. A large or multi level building such as high school will need a medium power transmitter. A large area or multi-building site will require a high power transmitter. To get a better idea about your system power needs, please call our sales representatives.
