Case Study: Perth Airport achieves compliant, intelligible emergency and public address audio with Biamp Vocia

Perth Airport unifies EWIS and public address with Biamp Vocia

Perth Airport faced the challenge of needing to combine its Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System (EWIS) with its public address system. Traditionally separate, these systems created redundancy, increased infrastructure costs, and delivered poor audio quality for non-emergency use. The airport engaged Biamp to find a unified solution that would maintain compliance with evacuation regulations while maximizing the intelligibility of announcements.

Biamp implemented its Vocia voice communication system to integrate emergency alerts, paging, and background music into a single, decentralized platform. The solution provided seamless integration with the existing EWIS, flexible paging and zoning, and scalable infrastructure for future expansion. This resulted in reduced infrastructure costs, enhanced speech intelligibility for announcements, and greater operational flexibility for Perth Airport.
