The architecture

Let’s start with what we don’t have: a head-end system.

The traditional architecture of a head-end connected to multiple stations originated in the era of analog telephony. While still popular, this setup is outdated for modern communication technologies.

With SIP telephony, each endpoint has the intelligence to handle this complex protocol on its own, so why keep relying on a head-end? Particularly in smaller systems, like those with a single endpoint, requiring a head-end adds unnecessary complexity and cost. When each station is fully capable of performing the functions of a head-end, the need for a centralized controller disappears.

That’s why we equipped every area station with a display. Not only does this improve station visibility, but the graphical user interface (GUI) also allows the station to function like a head-end, enabling users to manage the system and call other stations directly.
