The Carina Event Manager is a compact, energy-efficient server appliance designed to boot up in under 20 seconds. It enables administrators to seamlessly install, configure, and manage all Carina devices across a network from a single, user-friendly dashboard. Capable of supporting up to 250 primary and 250 secondary devices (with Carina Event Manager firmware 3.0 or higher), the Event Manager is ideal for extensive setups or for organizations seeking scalability without incurring extra costs.
This versatile tool facilitates firmware upgrades, schedules events, monitors device health, dispatches emergency notifications, and oversees IoT sensors. Remarkably, it consumes 90% less power than similar products on the market today. When linked to PoE switches backed by UPS, the Event Manager and associated Wahsega Endpoints maintain operational integrity far longer than competitors, ensuring critical communications are delivered without fail, even during power outages.

The Wahsega Carina Event Manager is a next-generation mass notification and IoT platform for many different types of buildings. Featuring an easy-to-use calendar scheduler, it incorporates live paging and announcements with audio, text and flashers in addition to sensors and relays for monitoring a variety of building systems. A member of Wahsega’s Carina family of products, the Event Manager performs auto-discovery on Carina endpoints at startup and enables users to configure those endpoints individually or in bulk.
Used in conjunction with a SIP server such as the Carina PBX, standard IP phones can initiate live audio announcements from the Carina Event Manager to paging zones throughout the building. For bells and announcements including audio and text, pre-recorded audio files stored in the Event Manager can be sent to endpoints via a preconfigured calendar event, a SIP call or the click of a webpage button. In addition, IoT sensors can be connected to the Carina Sensor Interface Appliance to send out announcements when conditions trigger a relay closure.
With auto-discovery, bulk configuration and quick webpage setup, the Carina Event Manager makes it easy to deploy a reliable building-wide announcement and monitoring system.
