Bogen Announces Nyquist IP-Based Software Communications Platform

June 1, 2017, Mahwah, NJ – Today, Bogen Communications, Inc. announced the introduction of its first pure IP-based, software-centric communications platform – Nyquist™. The Nyquist platform can address the unique communication needs of a variety of users: K-12 schools, universities, industrial facilities, retailers, offices, restaurants and bars — anywhere easy and effective communication and audio distribution are required.

The heart of the Nyquist platform is a remarkably easy to use software suite with an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI). Nyquist software resides on a network server and uses existing LAN, WAN and/or legacy ‘home-run’ cable infrastructure for two-way data and communication flow. Feature-rich IP phones and purpose-built Nyquist appliances provide convenient communication control and interoperability with third party devices and systems such as access control, fire alarm, clock, mass notification, and PBX systems.

The Nyquist platform is adaptable. It can be scaled to support a virtually unlimited number of schedules, facilities and stations. Additional features and capabilities can be easily added, as user’s needs change. The software platform can be easily upgraded over time to address ever-changing customer environments and technology.

Nyquist solutions are extremely easy to install and use. Nyquist’s Web-based GUI allows people with a broad spectrum of technical proficiencies to use the system. Buttons are large and clear; text is simple and legible; and embedded tooltips and guides aid in user self-sufficiency. Administrators can create an unlimited number of user roles and assign individual users permissions appropriate for their duties and technical proficiency.

“The Nyquist platform runs on Debian Linux OS. This provides us the flexibility to develop end-user solutions on a variety hardware platforms,” explained Bogen product development VP John Minnick. “The initial release is a solution targeted to Bogen’s Education Systems channel. Future product releases will include solutions targeted at the commercial audio overhead paging and music distribution channels.”
