UAE live rental company Artes Artes has taken receipt of Clear-Com’s new Tempest wireless intercom system. The purchase includes the 2.4GHz base station, belt stations, along with a number of CC-95 and CC-260 headsets.

Supplied by local company Nicolas Kyvernitis Electronics Enterprises (NMK), Tempest is presently the only four-audio channel, digital wireless system that operates license-free in the 2.4GHz band – by using the Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) in conjunction with TDMA technology, the Tempest2400 RF scheme avoids the need for licensing and frequency coordination.

In addition, once registered to a base station, a beltpack needs no further configuration and roams freely within a single zone area, making it well suited to use on live sports and breaking news coverage, as well asgh-coordination productions such as awards shows.

Other major features include 2xTX Transmission Voice Data Redundancy and its interoperability with Clear-Com and other intercom systems through two-wire and four-wire connections.

‘Artes already use a two-wire wired intercom system for various events, however a wireless intercom system offers a number of benefits for both the production crew and especially the client,’ says NMK Marketing Manager, Richie Hiranandani. ‘After analysing the options available, the Tempest system from ClearCom was the best solution for a wireless intercom system due to its features and use of the 2.4GHz frequency band.’
