Clear-Com Tempest2400 Takes To the Open Stage

	Clear-Com system at the University of Melbourne

ASL Systems has supplied the University of Melbourne in Australia with a Clear-Com Tempest2400 wireless intercom system for use in their theatre named 'the open stage.'

With its advanced RF circuitry, the company says the Tempest2400 was the ideal solution because it is highly resistant to interference, even in the most crowded RF environments.

Mark Richardson, production coordinator at the university, had been struggling with an old wired system. Since the Tempest2400 installation the Clear-Com intercoms have made a huge difference in communication for the students and staff.

Public events and lectures are sometimes filmed at the University and Richardson has actually used the Clear-Com system more for these projects than theatre.

"Adding the wireless systems gives us a lot more flexibility," commented Richardson. "The feature of having two wireless headsets is really good, the product is robust and we haven't had any issues. It's nice to have a wireless system that just works -- it was up and running quickly with no hassles!"

The reliability of the Clear-Com Tempest system means that students can focus on the important tasks of learning and collaborating with each other instead of worrying about staying in contact.

Tempest2400, now available in two- and four-channel versions, offers users unprecedented access to license-free communications. Utilizing patented frequency hopping spread spectrum radio technology to ensure robust, reliable communications, the Tempest system operates license-free in the 2.4 GHz band worldwide, allowing interference-free communications even in environments heavily populated by other RF devices. The system also offers users three modes of operation -- normal, shared, and split.
