CellCom®/FreeSpeak®

Digital Wireless Intercom Systems
CellCom/FreeSpeak Overview
CellCom/FreeSpeak uniquely blends digital matrix technology with a locally distributed wireless “network”. CellCom/FreeSpeak operates license-free in the 1.9 GHz frequency band, free of interference with other wireless products such as PCs, talent microphones, IFB and in-ear monitors. To this capability, the system adds broad connectivity to party-line and digital matrix intercom systems. With CellCom/FreeSpeak, beltpack-to-beltpack and group communication is finally possible within a wireless system in full duplex.

Features
• License-free 1.9 GHz DECT Operations
• 20 wireless beltpacks in 1RU
• Point-to-point and small group wireless communications
• Up to 6 communications routes per beltpack;
• Frequency and channel hopping technology
• Locate active antennas up to 1,000 meters (3,200 feet)    from base
• Ethernet map retrieval and downloads
• Remote battery monitoring

New V2.0 additional features include:
• Wireless beltpack increased from 10 to 20
• Beltpack IFB functionality
• External input VOX gating
• Wireless party-lines



CellCom Integra/FreeSpeak Integra Overview
CellCom Integra/FreeSpeak Integra uses the same unique cellular auto-roaming technology as CellCom/FreeSpeak.
This allows each beltpack to continuously detect and automatically select the best connection to the matrix via the Active Antennas.

Up to 40 beltpacks can be used with the Eclipse matrix systems, CellCom Integra/FreeSpeak Integra uses a Cell Controller card, called E-Que, fitted within the Eclipse matrix, achieving much larger wireless system than CellCom/FreeSpeak. E-Que provides connectivity between the beltpacks and any number of ports within the matrix system, creating a true seamless environment.

CellCom Integra/FreeSpeak Integra operates using a cellular network of DECT 1.8-1.9GHz Active Antennae located around the production environment which are connected directly to the Clear-Com Eclipse matrix.


 Features
• Cellular architecture using low-cost Active Antennae
• Up to 40 users per Cell (depending on the environment)
• Up to 4 E-Que cards can be used in one matrix
• Up to 200 pre-set roles can be defined in the ECS
  management system
• Up to 250m (800ft) range under good conditions.
  Range can be extended by creating more cells    
  (i.e. add additional Active Antennas).
• Cellular Roaming – users can freely roam between cells,    
  no need for frequency agility or changing channels
• Patented DPA (Dynamic Port Allocation) technology   
  - select your position directly from the beltpack and talk   
  - you roam, the matrix keeps you connected
• Full duplex 7kHz ‘commentator’ bandwidth for high-clarity,       fatigue-free communications
• Presenters or performers can also use CellCom   Integra/FreeSpeak Integra as an earpiece system
• Digital encoding keeps calls private
• Quick & easy programming of audio routes from the
  beltpack or via standard software
• Seamlessly integrates with Eclipse Omega and Median
• Two battery options – typically 8-10 hours talk time   
  using rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) cells    
  - also accepts disposable Alkaline AA batteries
Note: CellCom® and FreeSpeak® are different brands representing the same digital wireless intercom system (with minor technical differences*). Due to trademark limitations, CellCom-base and CellCom Integra are only available the USA and Canada; and FreeSpeak-base and FreeSpeak Integra are available in all countries other than the USA and Canada.

 *The smaller licence free band in the US and Canada also restricts the quantity of Antennas in any one RF cluster to 5 and beltpacks to 13. Multiple RF clusters can be used with CellCom50 so long as that in any one RF cluster the band restrictions are adhered to.
