Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0743623A1] A communication system has a plurality of transmitters (12A,12B) and receivers (14A,14B). Each transmitter can send messages for receipt by receivers (14). At least one transmitter (12) can send first type messages for receivers not individually identified in the message, or second type messages which include identification of a recipient receiver. An alarm message, such as a message to alert deaf users to a first alarm, can therefore be sent as a first type message, whereas a paging signal to a specific person can be sent as a second type message. <IMAGE>
