Besides wireless intercom systems, wireless communications at events are usually based on professional mobile radios or digital trunked radios. While analog radios are easily integrated with the wired intercom system via the Riedel RiFace, Riedel now provides Juggler, a compact TETRA digital trunked radio network solution for Artist Digital Matrix Intercoms, which provides seamless integration of wired intercom and professional digital radio applications.
While digital TETRA radios have been providing many advantages such as optimal frequency usage, highest transmission quality for audio and data and maximum security against eavesdropping, TETRA remained unsuitable for many applications because the installations were large and expensive. Riedel Juggler provides for the first time a cost-effective and compact solution, which makes it ideal not only for fixed installations but also mobile applications and OB trucks.
The new Riedel Juggler TETRA solution seamlessly integrates the TETRA radio network into the wired intercom matrix, providing intelligent integration between TETRA radio groups and Riedel Artist intercom ports. The system allows calls from any port/group/conference of the Artist system to up to 64 individual TETRA radio groups and vice versa. JUGGELR works with any TETRA-standard compliant subscriber.
The system consists of the Juggler Artist Interface, the TETRA Base Station Controller and the TETRA Base Station. The Juggler Artist Interface connects the TETRA Base Station Controller to any given Riedel Artist system via MADI. The TETRA system can be set up as a single-site installation or as a multi-site installation with seamless hand-over. The IP65 encapsulations of the TETRA Base Station as well as of the TETRA Base Station Controller ensure reliable operation even in harsh climatic environments.
