Tempest900 offers much of the same intuitive operation and menu structure, as well as look and feel, of the Tempest2400 system. Tempest900 is also available in two- and four-channel versions and comes with the same set of features, functions and operations, including the ability to operate in Normal, Split and Shared Modes.
The difference is that Tempest900 may provide improved coverage in areas where more structural penetration is required and in large enclosed areas where multipath interference would otherwise be a factor. The longer wavelengths and wider symbol width used in the 902MHz to 928MHz frequency range allow Tempest900 signals to break through dense walls and other structural objects more readily, increasing the range for users and reducing potential loss of audio.
‘In the world of RF technology, there is rarely a single solution for all applications or all environments,’ says Tempest wireless systems Product Manager, Stephen Sandford. ‘Tempest900 was created to perform in certain applications that may not be appropriate for 2.4GHz or other technologies. In other cases, it can perfectly complement other wireless intercom systems such as the Tempest2400 to address specific communication requirements.’
A single Tempest900 in Normal Mode can support between one and five full duplex wireless users, who need the ability to talk on the intercom system. By using a BaseStation in Split or Shared Mode, it can support an unlimited number of users who need to monitor the conversation and can share talk capacity.
A total of five Tempest900 BaseStations can be co-located and connected together via their Partyline or 4-wire intercom connections offering a maximum of 25 Tempest full duplex wireless BeltStations operating in close proximity while maintaining excellent system performance. To further expand a system Tempest900 and Tempest2400 can be used together, so it is now possible to combine up to 15 BaseStations, using ten Tempest2400s and five Tempest900s.
Tempest900 is available in the United States and Canada, while Tempest2400 is distributed worldwide.
