Pagers

Pagers are electronic communications devices that are used to notify or alert a user about an event. They beep, vibrate, flash, display text, and use other alerts or methods of notification. Pagers and beepers are often used in restaurants, supermarkets, factories, service centers, hospitals, and other commercial and industrial settings. Because of their group-messaging capabilities, they are also used by emergency services personnel, medical staff, and information technology (IT) teams. Some pagers, such as those used at restaurants, cover only a short range. Others, such as those used in factories, are designed to cover longer distances.
