Holidaymakers at the luxury Holiday Inn Kandooma Resort in the Maldives Islands, can now relax and enjoy themselves to high quality music, announcements and even charge their iPods -  thanks to a complete audio over IP solution from Barix.
 

The system distributes high-quality, multi-lingual voice and music to guests in nine zones across the resort.  Delivering audio to multiple points creates a unified, resort-wide notification and entertainment system which enhances the holiday atmosphere and can even help in emergencies.
 
The Kandooma Resort is a full-service, 160-room resort located on Kandooma Island on the South Male Atoll in the Maldives Islands, renowned for its world-class diving and surfing.  Besides its beautiful, oceanside setting, the Kandooma Resort is noted for its advanced technology, providing free Wi-Fi, iPod docking stations, and flat-screen TVs with satellite programming to guests.
 
The multi-purpose PA system is easily expandable to accommodate future growth at the resort, streaming in-house music, live paging and recorded messages.  It also supports multi-language playback, which is helpful in emergency situations.  Intercom and other applications can also be customised with the existing hardware.
 
The complete solution includes a multifunction, standalone IP intercom paging master station at the core, which connects to multiple end devices without the need for PCs or server software.
 
Resort staff can deliver live pages and announcements to IP audio decoders in nine zones with a single press of the button, targeting messages to specific zones or buildings; or initiating “all-call” announcements. 
 
There is also a two-way audio device which can override the network-wide audio stream in emergency situations, which can stream pre-recorded security announcements in all zones.  Nine amplifiers and 200 loudspeakers support playout across the grounds.
