FreeSpeak IP Transceivers provide more capacity and flexibility
FreeSpeak IP connected Transceivers supported by Arcadia, FreeSpeak Edge Base Station and Eclipse E-IPA allow higher capacity of beltpacks with 10 beltpacks per transceivers. In the 1.9GHz frequency range they additionally double the capacity of beltpacks within the constraints of the RF spectrum (in the air). FreeSpeak IP connected Transceivers can be connected anywhere on an AES67 capable network infrastructure without needing dedicated point to point cabling like with directly E1 connected FreeSpeak Transceivers which are otherwise simple and easy to use plug-and-play.
