Riedel Bolero 2.4 GHz wireless intercom system

Riedel Communications has unveiled the Bolero 2.4 GHz wireless intercom system. Instead of Bolero’s standard DECT band, this iteration operates on the 2.4 GHz band, allowing users in regions where DECT carrier frequencies are either limited or unavailable to profit from Bolero’s versatility and feature set in navigating difficult RF environments.

Compared with other 2.4 GHz wireless intercoms, the product is claimed to have double the operational range and to support more than twice the number of beltpacks per antenna. It enables internationally operating customers like touring, cruise ship or OB production companies to use the same globally available frequency range to work across various regions, thereby improving team communication.

The device uses a practically identical feature set and offers the same three network modes as the DECT version: Integrated, Standalone Link and Standalone 2110 (AES67). The 2.4 GHz band limits use to eight beltpacks per antenna instead of 10, but allows for connectivity anywhere, with just one ‘Global’ region for 2.4 GHz antennas.

The 2.4 GHz iteration also comes with Bolero’s high-clarity voice codec and its multipath tolerant receiver (ADR) technology adapted to 2.4 GHz, allowing the system to continuously adapt to changing RF reflection environments. With NFC touch-and-go beltpack registration, an ergonomic, robust beltpack design and three modes as beltpack, desktop key panel or walkie-talkie, it is easy to use, sleek and versatile.
