2 Introduction to FreeSpeak Edge™
FreeSpeak Edge™ is a member of Clear-Com’s FreeSpeak™ family of digital wireless intercom
solutions. It uses the 5 GHz radio frequency range.
The FreeSpeak Edge system includes full duplex multi-channel wireless beltpacks and
transceivers for use in a matrix with Clear-Com's SMPTE 2110-30/AES67 compatible IP audio
card, the E-IPA-HX.
FreeSpeak Edge uses encryption (AES256) between beltpack and transceiver for security.
2.1 FreeSpeak Edge 5 GHz
The 5 Ghz radio frequency range offers a number of advantages to intercom users:
l A clear, full audio quality with a very low noise floor and latency (Opus codec @ 12 Khz)
l Behaves well in venues or stadiums where RF multipath is an issue
l A wide range of channels, providing lots of room for users to exist without interfering
with each other
