Intercom Communications
Intercoms are a convenient way for teachers and staff to communicate with one another in a
school setting. Intercoms allow for quick and easy communication between one or more persons
at a time. They can be used in the advent of an emergency where other methods of communication
could fail. Intercom systems typically have the ability to call into all areas so
administrators can talk to the entire school at once, whether for morning
announcements or for an emergency. Thompson Engineering can design and install a Rauland
intercom system designed to meet the needs of your school site or provide you with a district
wide solution.
