A vibrating paging device indicates the presence of a message or contact through vibration. A vibrating pager can be an excellent option for distance communication. Many pagers operate over telephone lines while others are stand alone units with a more limited range. Pagers can provide a full length message and may allow the person to respond directly using the pager through the use of programmed messages. Two way paging devices allow the receipt of full text communication as well as the ability to respond in full length text.
Workplace solutions and adjustments
Vibrating pagers can alert an employee who is Deaf or hearing impaired to the need for telephone communication, emergency situations or other communication requirements. Some paging devices can also be linked to other equipment such as baby monitors and door sensors which send an alert to the paging device when someone enters through a monitored door.
