Clear-Com FSE-BASE FreeSpeak Edge IP Base Station
The FreeSpeak Edge base station is a standalone 1RU device that provides extensive connectivity to a wide range of Clear-Com endpoints along with third-party Dante devices. Built primarily to deploy 5 GHz transceivers and beltpacks, the base station also provides support to FreeSpeak II splitters, 1.9 GHz E1 and IP transceivers/beltpacks*, and 2.4 GHz E1 transceivers/beltpacks.
*Note
A 1.9 GHz beltpack cannot roam between and E1 1.9 GHz transceiver and an IP 1.9 GHz transceiver. Beltpacks on each system can communicate through the base station.
