Pliant Technologies, the new professional products division of CoachComm, is introducing CrewCom wireless intercom at InfoComm 2016 (Booth C6046).
This is the first product launched by Pliant since the division was announced earlier this year. CrewCom is based on a totally new technology platform that offers high user density, range, and scalability. The product features professional full-duplex wireless radio packs, multiple simultaneous frequency bands, as well as a host of user features.
CrewCom is new approach to professional wireless intercoms, designed to handle almost any application from simple out-of-the-box solutions to large-scale designs for, live-sound, broadcast and industrial environments. It is a versatile communications solution built on a scalable platform in which a family of products utilizes a proprietary network.
Pliant designed a new proprietary network for CrewCom called CrewNet. This network coordinates and transports all system timing, audio, signaling, and controls. CrewNet is capable of operating over standard Cat-5e (or greater) and/or single mode fiber lines. In addition, CrewCom’s graphical software called CrewWare provides for offline configuration, online control, and real-time monitoring of all system components.
CrewCom wireless products are available in 2.4GHz and 900MHz (900MHz is limited to where this band is legal). Any combination of these frequency ranges may be simultaneously used on the same CrewCom system, giving the ability to easily put global-friendly, dependable RF coverage where needed, all while employing a consistent user interface throughout the system. This enables the system to easily adapt to the RF challenges facing production and entertainment professionals worldwide.
Every element of CrewCom is designed around a system architecture that offers a high density of users with an easily manageable infrastructure and lower cost per user than typically found in large-scale wireless installations. The CrewCom system consists of a range of CrewCom products that work together to enhance the capability of intercom system administrators, designers, integrators, and users.
