Legacy Telecenter Systems 

Rauland has met the critical communication needs of educational institutions for over 80 years—which is why Telecenter® is trusted by more districts than any other brand. Legacy solutions such as our Telecenter 1100, Telecenter V, Telecenter 21, Telecenter ICS, and Telecenter VI have long supported schools nationwide, laying the groundwork for helping facilitate daily operations, emergency preparedness, and coordinated communication. 

While these 20- to 35-year-old systems are no longer manufactured or serviced, the brand continues to evolve, bringing new innovations to meet the changing needs of modern schools. The current Telecenter platform delivers greater reliability, flexibility, and ease of use, providing a unified, district-wide communication system that ensures every message—from daily announcements to emergency alerts—reaches the right people at the right time. It is also designed to work within your existing data network, giving districts the option to modernize communication incrementally, while still benefiting from a comprehensive, district-wide solution. 

Whether your project is phased over time or implemented all at once, Telecenter adapts to your timeline, scope, and budget. Flexible migration options include:

• Overlay with Your Legacy Systems – Add district-wide emergency communications and workflow management to your existing paging and intercom
• systems. Leverage installed infrastructure while gaining district-wide communications, such as web-based bell scheduling and lockdown capabilities.
• Hybrid Without Network Upgrades – Achieve seamless district-wide communication without replacing your entire network structure. Upgrade your systems while reusing speakers, call switches, and cabling where possible.
• Full IP Solution – Unlock the full potential of the current Telecenter on a fully IP-based network. Status lights, mapping, applications interfaces and kiosks can be easily implemented, while eliminating reliance on older analog wiring.
