UNSPSC 43223212: Paging terminals

Provide commercial paging service within a metropolitan region. The equipment, called a paging terminal, has the ability to answer calls seeking to make the page, decodes or records the message, certifies the paging customer's validity, encodes the message to the correct format for the customer's pager, and manages the page through the radio transmission network. The paging terminal then provides appropriate information to the billing system.

UNSPSC 43223212 Paging terminals (Commodity) spans emergency responder radio systems, wireless infrastructure services, and related equipment that state and local governments procure for public safety communications, dispatch operations, and law enforcement connectivity.
