Case Study: Uplift Education achieves flexible, scalable overhead paging and bell scheduling with Singlewire Software's InformaCast

Flexible, Scalable Overhead Paging and Bell Scheduling with InformaCast

Uplift Education operates 20 public charter schools serving over 6,000 students across the Dallas/Fort Worth area and faced inconsistent, costly overhead paging and bell systems as each converted building had different infrastructure. Schools were independently buying PA and bell solutions, clocks were unsynced, updates took hours, and the district needed a flexible, scalable, secure system that allowed centralized management with localized control for each campus.

Uplift deployed Singlewire InformaCast on their existing Cisco phone network and added a few IP speakers where needed, providing web- or phone-triggered audio and text paging, a customizable bell scheduler, and CallAware 911 tracking. The result was a simple, centrally managed solution that eliminated duplicate paging networks, sped updates, improved emergency communications, reduced onsite maintenance and training, and delivered cost savings while remaining adaptable as the district grows.
