Radio Paging
Effective June 30th, 2008, the one-way Radio Paging Service offered by ITS at the University Park campus will be discontinued. The service was initially created a decade ago to provide University departments and organizations with economical localized paging capabilities. The discontinuation of the ITS Radio Paging Service is due to rising operational costs and the growth of commercial service availability, particularly in light of the small number of groups still using this service. Organizations that currently utilize the ITS Radio Paging Service are encouraged to contact their ITS Consultant at http://css.its.psu.edu/cs/itsanalysts.html to discuss alternate commercial radio paging service options.
Description
The University Park Radio Paging System supports Tone & Voice, Numeric, and Alpha-Numeric paging. Radio Paging Service allows simultaneous pages to be processed with the actual messages sent out sequentially.
Radio Paging Service is only available at University Park and requires the user to purchase the pager device through TNS. The monthly cost for Radio Paging Service is standard across all types of pager units (Tone & Voice, Numeric, and Alpha-Numeric) and will only be charged during the periods when radio paging service is provided.
The following charges apply to Radio Paging Service:
One-time $52.00 (Radio Pager Purchase)
Monthly $2.36
Refer to Paging Service for paging instructions and the current pager model offered.
Pager Rental Service is no longer offered. However, pagers can be purchased from TNS at a one-time cost, and then Radio Paging Service can be activated and deactivated on those pagers upon request.
