i've used the valcom v2924a several times. it will only expand up to 96 ports tho.

here is the link https://www.valcom.com/intercom.htm

THIS IS THE QUOTE I AM BIDDING ON:

An Intercom system with back and forth paging and also access to restricted telco lines.

They want to be able to access off-site buildings. "Thats the problem"

I suggested a PBX with SL phones. But its a Intercom system they want.

The Rauland Telecenter IV or V will provide the restricted POTS lines. It will interface directly with the PBX. It also provides emulated dial tone that will allow the office staff to call into the rooms through the phone. It connects to a trunk position on the PBX. It will provide talk back from the rooms. I think that this will be a great fit for you. I will say that sometimes the Rauland equipment that I have worked with has been kind of flaky (mainly the ICS though). Good luck!!!!

check out the Dukane StarCall system also.

you'll have the best chance of working with the school adminisration if you partener with a traditional school intercom provider(bogen,rauland,etc.)
they all will intrface with a pbx which you will provide. most administrators don,t want to experiment. they are usually conservative
about such things. they have a lot of people judging their choices so tried and true solutions, even though more expensive and possibly overkill will usually get their attention.
