My school district will be building a new elementary school in 2006. We were about to go to bid with a traditional intercom system for the campus but I would like implement Asterisk at the campus.

My question is, do we build in a traditional intercom/paging system and tie that into the Asterisk PBX, the way such intercoms have been connected to other PBX's in our district in the past, or do we put IP phones in the classrooms and tie that into a PA system for paging? Are there IP based paging systems that could be used instead of the traditional PA/loudspeaker systems in most schools?

We will be writing a spec shortly (and I will be seeking a consultant on asterisk-biz soon to assist us), but I need to know whether I need to get our engineering consultant to redraw the cabling to reflect a data jack at the location of the classroom phone instead of the telco jack that is currently on the plans.

Thanks in advance for the advice!
