Abstract
A pager system which enables users to avoid having to pay monthly service charges. The pager system is particularly useful in that it can be coupled easily to an existing local area network (LAN) to provide paging capabilities within a local area (i.e., a campus) such as a building or set of buildings. Thus, businesses, universities, etc., who currently have a LAN or contemplate installing one can couple the pager system to the LAN in order to provide localized paging. Such localized paging is provided without the need to pay monthly service charges to paging service providers. A business, university, etc., incurs primarily only an initial cost to purchase the pager equipment. Therefore, the present system represents a substantial cost savings compared to WAN based paging service providers for those desiring localized paging.
