Overview
The a72 is Ascom's current-generation alarm and messaging pager for staff who need more than a basic receive-only pager — hospital and care-home staff, lone or vulnerable workers, and industrial teams. It's sold in three configurations on shared hardware: a Pager version (receive-only), an Alarm version (adds personal-alarm functions), and a Protector version (full two-way messaging plus alarms). An ATEX-certified variant is available for explosive/hazardous atmospheres.
