Enhanced wireless comms

3M has launched an enhanced version of its DECT-Com Communication System to offer users increased functionality and excellent sound quality.

The 3M Peltor DECT-Com II Wireless Intercom System has all of the benefits of the original system, which is said to provide an outstanding communication solution for noisy environments. Comprising a base unit, handsets and headsets, which are connected wirelessly, the duplex system allows users to be involved in clear two way communication, or conference calls, with no interruptions to transmission.

The enhanced system can be set up for up to nine individual active users (increased from eight in the DECTCom I) while up to 40 additional listeners can participate in the conference. Each operator has their own handset, which is connected to a headset with built-in speakers and a microphone, to receive and send out communications. Listeners can 'break in' and participate in the conference, which will downgrade the earliest active speaker, on a first come, first served basis, meaning everyone in the working environment can contribute.
