GETTING STARTED:
AN INTRODUCTION
TO CELLCOM 10
With a CellCom 10 wireless beltpack users can roam freely around a
studio or production facility while talking and listening to all, or
selected, members of the production team. With its six communication
routes, the beltpack gives users the flexibility to communicate quickly
and seamlessly with individuals or groups, and to change
communication routes as often as needed.
CellCom 10™ is the North American name for the award-winning
FreeSpeak® technology, the world’s first wireless system to include
local route programming, crosspoint level control, groups, and full
non-blocking mixing facilities.
In the United States the system operates in the unlicensed 1.92 GHz to
1.93 GHz band. With its unique and innovative digital technology,
which continually searches for unused radio frequency (RF) channels,
CellCom avoids the noise and interference issues associated with
traditional wireless systems using congested UHF and VHF bands.

CellCom 10 allows a wireless system to be set up specifically tailored
to local needs by locating antennas and beltpacks in areas where they
are needed most. And because the beltpacks operate in the
unlicensed 1.92 to 1.93 GHz frequency spectrum, there is no
interference with existing wireless systems, even those located in the
same production area.
A CellCom 10 system
consists of three basic
elements: the base station,
wireless beltpack, and
antenna.
With the basic three
elements the user can design
a digital wireless system for
specific requirements.
