making Bolero DECT and 2.4 GHz useable in challenging RF environments
where other systems have great difficulty.

Now with Integrated, Standalone Link & Standalone 2110 (AES67) mode.

As an all-new wireless intercom system capable of supporting up to 250 beltpacks and 100 antennas in a single deployment, Bolero is a true game-
changer. Bolero redefines the wireless intercom category with features such as its ADR (Advanced DECT Receiver) with multi-diversity and anti-
reflection technology for greater RF robustness, “Touch&Go” NFC beltpack registration, and versatile operation as a wireless beltpack, a wireless BOLERO at a Glance
