Pliant Technologies has announced the launch of CrewCom CB2 Version 1.2 that adds dual listen capabilities and more to its full-duplex wireless intercom systems designed for small to mid-level applications.
Available in both 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz frequency options as well as 900 MHz Oceania and 2.4 GHz CE compliant models, the system includes the CrewCom CB2 BaseStation and up to six CRP-12 two-channel radio packs. It provides users with two intercom channels as well as interconnectivity to all industry standard two- and four-wire intercom systems.
The new, selectable dual listen mode allows individual CRP-12 Radio Packs (RPs) to simultaneously listen to both the A and B channels. When selected, this new mode of operation enables each individual user’s RP to be set as needed for their user-specific applications. It allows users to adjust the individual channel’s relative audio levels from the RP.
In addition, two new user-requested feature improvements have also been made to the system. Radio Pack Talk Tones can now be enabled or disabled from the Pack Setting Menu on the BaseStation. In addition to a currently available Momentary setting, the talk button mode for individual Radio Packs can now be set to Latching while in High Density Operational Mode.
“These latest updates provide even more user customization and flexibility based on their application,” says Art Gonzales, vice president of product management for Pliant Technologies. “CB2 provides the lowest cost per user in its class of product with easy-to-use, volunteer-friendly operation. This latest firmware introduces important enhancements based on customer feedback.”
Based on the same RF and audio technologies as Pliant’s CrewCom system, two other features of the CB2 provide further expansion. First, two CB2 BaseStations can be connected and the audio synced to create one system with up to 12 full-duplex users. Two separate CB2 systems can also be synced to ensure RF performance if they need to be co-located in the same RF area. The CB2 can also sync and be co-located in the same coverage area as an existing CrewCom system.
In addition, High Density mode, a selectable mode of operation for existing hardware that will allow user densities to increase by more than double, will allow for up to 16 Radio Packs (RPs) to log into a single BaseStation with the expanded capability to combine two BaseStation for up to 32 total users.
The CrewCom CRP-12 radio packs use the same batteries as CrewCom, making the batteries compatible with its 6+6 Drop-In Radio Pack and battery charger. The system is also compatible with Pliant’s line of SmartBoom headsets.
The new CrewCom CB2 Version 1.2 firmware upgrade, which includes the new features and updates, is free of charge to all users and will soon be available for direct download from the Pliant Technologies website.
