The communications RIB for the Beijing Olympics includes 600 ports distributed over three ADAM frames, DBX series Dual Bus Expanders, KP-32 classic series keypanels, RVON VoIP products, intelligent trunking components with telephone interfaces, as well as products from the Emmy-winning RTS Two-Wire line.
The massive number of ports the RIB supports is enabled by the 16-channel AIO-16 card. Installed directly into the ADAM matrix intercom system, the AIO-16 card gives 16 ports of audio IN and OUT plus individual data for each card installed (up to 17 cards) in the system. This doubles the amount of audio ports available from its predecessor the AIO-8. The AIO-16 is hot swappable, allowing the user to insert the card and begin using it instantaneously. The AIO-16 eliminates the need to manually set keypanel addresses on the back of the unit by enabling automated unique addressing, which greatly reduces the setup time.
