Wildix • Schools • PA integration
Wildix for Schools
Schools need more than a front-desk phone that stays in the office. Teachers, principals and office staff have to reach parents, each other and the whole building, often while they are already on the move. Wildix for Schools puts the school line on a desk phone, a DECT cordless handset or a mobile app, and works with the PA, paging and intercom systems already in the school. Wi-Com is a Canadian Wildix partner. We plan, install and support the system.
Everyday calling
Phones and services that boost staff productivity
The aim is simple: staff should be able to take the school line wherever the work is, see who is available, and spend less time chasing missed parent and student calls.
- One school number, wherever staff areDesk phones, Wildix W-AIR DECT cordless handsets and the Wildix mobile app can share the same school number, presence and call history. Teachers and office staff can take the line down the hallway, across campus or off site, instead of leaving every call at the front desk.
- Presence, chat and video in the browserWildix Collaboration runs in a browser or on a smartphone. Staff can see who is available, chat, start a video meeting and make or take calls from one place, without installing a stack of extra programs.
- AI that handles routine inquiriesWilma, the Wildix AI assistant, can answer voice calls, web chat, SMS and WhatsApp, help with routine parent and student questions, and hand the conversation to a person when a human should take over, including after hours.
Paging and announcements
Works with your PA, paging and intercom
A school phone system is more useful when a class change, an announcement or an urgent message can go out over the speakers and intercoms the building already uses. Wildix can register compatible SIP paging and intercom devices and connect to emergency notification software.
Speakers and paging
Algo speakers and paging adapters
Algo is a Canadian manufacturer of SIP speakers, outdoor horns, paging adapters and intercoms. Supported Algo devices register with Wildix as SIP endpoints for ringing and for one-way or talkback paging, which schools use for bells, hallway announcements and building-wide messages.
Intercom and door entry
CyberData intercoms, paging and door entry
CyberData SIP endpoints for paging, two-way communication, emergency notification and access control can register with the Wildix platform. That covers paging adapters and speakers, indoor and outdoor intercoms, door entry and call buttons, so the office can reach a door, a wing or the whole school from the same system.
Emergency paging
Singlewire InformaCast
The Wildix integration with Singlewire InformaCast is built for getting a message to many people at once. Staff can trigger live or pre-recorded audio announcements and mass notifications from Wildix phones and connected devices, so the same alert can reach speakers, phones and other endpoints across the site.
Help when seconds matter
Emergency help button
Wildix devices can include an emergency help button that works like a custom speed dial. A school can set it to reach a designated staff member, the office, or an emergency number, and pair it with paging and notification so the rest of the campus can be told what to do next.
Campus safety
Safety and emergency alerts
When something goes wrong in a school, staff need a short path to help and a way to tell the building the same thing at the same time.
- A dedicated path to helpThe emergency help button can be set up for the incidents a school actually faces, such as calling the office, a nurse or an emergency number, without hunting for a directory in the moment.
- The same message across the buildingPaging, InformaCast notifications and connected speakers let a school send a live or pre-recorded message across hallways, phones and other devices, instead of relying on word of mouth.
- Works with other school systemsOn the education side, Wildix is designed to work with paging, access control and emergency alert systems, so the phone platform is not a silo beside the rest of the building.
Classrooms and districts
Virtual classrooms and multi-site campuses
The same platform that carries the school phone line also covers remote and hybrid teaching, and it can span more than one campus.
Teaching at a distance
Virtual and hybrid classrooms
Wildix virtual classroom tools, including Wizyconf, run in the browser so teachers and students do not have to install a separate client. Sessions can include chat, a whiteboard, breakout rooms, hand raising, polling and recording. Optional Wizyconf room hardware is available for classes that mix students in the room with students joining from home.
More than one site
District and multi-campus calling
Schools and districts with more than one building can keep staff on one communications platform. A principal or office administrator can take the school line on a mobile phone between sites, and teams can reach each other by call, chat or video without a separate system at each campus.
Other workplaces
Not a school?
The same Wildix platform runs offices, clinics, hotels, stores, contact centres and multi-site teams. See the main Wildix page for how it works outside education.
