The FreeSpeak / Cellcom matrix controller card, known as E-Que, can now provide its digital wireless beltpack users with full integration within the matrix. Through Dynamic Port Allocation (DPA), the matrix can maintain point-to-point communications with the beltpack user no matter which antenna it is communicating with or where the user is roaming.
FreeSpeak 50 operates using a cellular network of digital antennae directly connected to the Clear-Com matrix. Enabling the matrix to serve complex or very large areas and wireless systems with 50 or more users, where wired or line-of-sight communications would simply not be practical. This includes TV studios, broadcast centres, national theatres and concert arenas, and any other application where users require access to multiple channels simultaneously.
Until now, wireless belt pack users could speak with selected individuals or with selected groups of people on the same channel. With the E-Que Controller card, the system operates like a mobile phone network, simply finding the nearest antenna and enabling the user to communicate with anyone else on the system, no matter where they are located.
