Wireless Intercom Systems

Shopping for Wireless Intercoms

Wireless intercoms are highly functional, hands-free devices that streamline your daily routine. Keep the lines of communication open at work or at home with an easily adaptable system that meets all your needs. Day-to-day tasks such as team management and customer interactions are among the endless ways you can benefit from a wireless system.

Difference Between Wired and Wireless Intercom Systems

Wireless systems grant free range of motion, since there are no restrictions by cumbersome telecom wires. With wired systems, you'd need to incorporate the interface into the building's structure; with wireless home intercom systems, you're free to rearrange the station and substations as often as you like, as you simply reposition your intercoms to any room in the home or office with an outlet.

Even greater differences arise when you consider the various types of wire-free intercoms. There is an array of styles including intercom headsets and portable 2-way intercoms.

Using Wireless Intercoms at the Office

Ramp up your team's engagement with real-time communication spread throughout the office. Send a message directly to an individual, or to the entire building at once. Wireless communication headsets can connect with a base. Depending on the size of your operation and how many employees will be on the same network, you may want to invest in intercom base stations, which allow access to more than 100 receivers.

Transceivers, or intercom transmitters and receivers, are necessary for businesses and productions that use Bluetooth intercom headsets. Aside from features such as long-range audio, remote mic kill, and the capacity to power multiple rechargeable battery packs, many users appreciate transceivers because they allow people to set up, break down, and reset mobile productions as quickly as possible.

Choosing the Best Wireless Intercom

Deciding on which features are most important depends on how you intend to use your new system. However, you should look at a few common elements to find the most efficient wireless intercom. These include:

• Range: Most wireless systems have a range that reaches from 1,000 to 1,500 feet
• Connection: Wi-Fi intercom systems link to your internet service; you'll need enough bandwidth to support this add-on
• Communication: Some devices only allow substations to communicate directly with the master, as opposed to substation-to-substation transmission
• Capacity: Customer service centers and operations that process a high volume of calls perform better with intercom headsets rather than the standard wall-mounted design
• Privacy: Some systems allow you to shut off communication directly from a substation rather than allowing the master station full operational control
• Special Features: Voice activation, video control, and shared music transmission are just a few additional features you can look for in certain wireless systems

Upgrade your system at any time by adding compatible substations. With so many options available, you can make your home or office run infinitely smoother. Check out the different devices available at B&H Photo and Video.
