A communications smart device that can be added to an existing network and immediately start monitoring the network for communication information. Each smart device includes at least one output means, such as a speaker or a display screen. When information destined for the smart device is recognized, the smart device extracts the communication information and outputs the communication information via the device's output means. Multiple smart devices with speakers can be added to a company's existing local area network to provide a multi-zone paging system for the company. Alternatively, multiple smart devices with LED display screens can be added to a city's existing traffic monitoring network to provide traffic information to commuters. A telephone can be used as the input device for voice and a laptop computer can be used to input text and video. The present networked smart devices do not require a server to operate as intended.
