Need to quickly deploy secure wireless production intercom to a wide area? The latest offering from Clear-Com may be the answer. Clear-Com have added Agent-IC, a BYO wireless intercom solution designed to run on portable devices such as smart phones, tablets and even wearables such as the Apple Watch.

 

 

 

 

Agent-IC systems consists of at least one hardware device or “base” such as a Clear-Com LQ box or a Matrix frame fitted with IVC-32 HX card which then support up to 48 channels of portable devices.

Agent IC utilises standard IP connectivity to connect to devices running the Agent-IC app, either locally via Wi-Fi or wide area / globally via 3G/4G systems.

Agent-IC can run as a standalone system or interface to cabled analogue or digital intercom systems.

Ideal for applications such as wide area wireless connectivity for outside broadcast / ENG or for ad-hoc additions to live production systems.
