We use bullhorns and strobe lights flashing in morse code. :-)
We had the 2.4ghz phones tied into our system and forwarded extensions to
them. We used Engenius' long range handsets. Too expensive, too clunky,
etc. They fall off someone's belt and break.
It's so loud on our shop floor that usually talking on the phone is useless
anyway. So I had an idea while waiting at a restaurant one day while using
those little paging devices. We implemented the on-premise paging solution.
Old-school, but very effective. It vibrates and the employee checks his
voicemail from any office phone scattered on the perimeter of the office
floor. Since he/she doesn't know *who* is calling (just that "someone"
called) we have found response times to be great with our supervisors. If
it had caller ID (some do), then I bet they wouldn't jump as fast to answer
their calls. Another upgrade from this is on-premise SMS.

Hi All
I am wondering how your offices communicate with your factory floor
personnel.
We currently use CD / VHF radio type devices.
What do you use?
Ideally we are looking for something that will work on wifi with our Mitel
phone system
Thanks.
