Zenitel has unveiled Zenitel VAIA, an innovative, compact, and fully integrated Public Address and Voice Alarm (PAVA) platform, aimed at simplifying deployments while ensuring high performance and reliability in critical communication settings.
This platform caters to a variety of environments, including commercial, educational, transport, healthcare, and industrial spaces, by integrating voice alarm, public address functionalities, advanced DSP processing, amplification, and battery charging into an efficient and optimised solution for modern infrastructure. The cornerstone of Zenitel VAIA is its newly patented amplifier architecture, which achieves transformer-like output without the traditional bulky transformers.
This advancement supports ultra-high-density amplification, ensuring superior audio quality, efficient system operation, and dependable performance. Capable of delivering up to 1000 W RMS power within a 1U space, Zenitel VAIA reduces system complexity and saves rack space, streamlining installation and maintenance processes.
Sri Sutharsan, Zenitel’s VP of Marketing, emphasised the growing demand for communication systems that are not only reliable and compliant but also easy to deploy, manage, and scale. “With Zenitel VAIA, we are bringing together our long heritage in critical communication with a new generation of compact and intelligent PAVA technology — designed to deliver exceptional intelligibility, operational efficiency, and simplified deployment without compromise,” he stated.
VAIA’s launch strengthens Zenitel’s Unified Critical Communication (UCC) strategy by integrating intercom, public address, voice alarm, IP speakers, and operational audio workflows into a cohesive system. Enhanced by Zenitel Connect Pro and the scalable Vipedia platform, VAIA supports varied setups, from standalone deployments to intricate multi-site critical communication systems.
Engineered for both operational communication and life safety use, Zenitel VAIA is a unified platform fulfilling emergency communication needs while providing superior acoustic performance for announcements, security messages, and background music.
