RTS displays ROAMEO
wireless intercom system
Meet ROAMEO, the wireless
intercom keypanel from RTS
Intercom Systems (under the
Robert Bosch brand) that is
designed based on the licence-free
DECT (digital enhanced cordless
telecommunications) standard with
a protected frequency band.
ROAMEO provides high-quality
audio over an integrated digital
wireless beltpack and associated
access points.
Featuring a modern, rugged
design, ROAMEO can be deployed
for a wide range of intercom
applications where wireless
communication is critical, including
broadcast production studios,
theatres, sports event productions,
houses of worship, commercial
buildings and outside broadcast
(OB) trucks.
Fully integrated solution using
state-of-the-art technology
Operating like a wireless keypanel,
ROAMEO is capable
of solving a series of
communication challenges
in the field. With its
integration into all existing
wired digital RTS matrices,
the system allows users to
address either individuals
or specific groups.
ROAMEO comprises the
TR-1800 beltpack, the
AP-1800 access point,
and accessories including
charger, holster and pole-
mount kit. Connection to
a digital matrix is easily
established via a single
Ethernet cable; the access
points can be daisy-chained.
The AP-1800 access points
convert the DECT signals into
Dante-compatible OMNEO IP-
technology, thereby providing users
with an interoperable solution.
OMNEO enables a secure set-up at
a low system cost due to the use of
standard IT components, simplified
installation and lower maintenance
costs.
Seamless roaming across wide
areas

the control software, AZedit,
which allows users to configure
the complete intercom system on
one screen. Equipped with a large
colour LED-display and intuitive
icon-based menu structure, the TR-
1800 beltpack can be easily set up
and operated. The four talk/listen
buttons are shaped differently and
provide users with a tactile feedback;
the operation of the device is thus
possible also in low-light conditions
and without the need to look at it.
With its lightweight, durable housing,
the beltpack features the smallest
enclosure in its class and is protected
against dust and light rain.
Sophisticated circuits optimise
sound performance using echo
cancellation algorithms. Furthermore,
both the beltpack and access point
firmware are easy to update with
disassembly. The software of the
TR-1800 beltpack can be upgraded

the TR-1800 beltpack and
audio and roaming between the
individual cells. Each cell requires an
AP-1800 access point and covers
a specific area and number of
beltpacks, depending on the audio
codec used. Each AP-1800 has a
built-in IP switch that adds multiple
streams together in the same cable,
which is equipped with the ability to
configure itself automatically.
Users can easily expand the
coverage area by adding further
access points, while additional
wireless beltpacks can be directly
addressed as part of a wired RTS
matrix intercom system. Depending
on the audio codec used, users can
select between a higher emphasis on
voice quality (G.722 full bandwidth)
and a more efficient use of the radio
spectrum with a higher number of
beltpacks (G.726 narrowband).

About DECT
DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications) is a digital
wireless radio technology for voice
data applications that originated
in Europe. It is a worldwide-
established standard used primarily
in home and small office systems,
but is also available in many private
branch exchange (PBX) systems for
medium-sized and large businesses
using multiple base stations for
coverage.
This technology features
high voice quality and supports
consistent handover when switching
cells. The frequency band that is
reserved for voice transmissions
is known as Unlicensed Personal
Communications Services. These
channels are reserved exclusively for
voice communication applications,
which is why DECT is “future-
proof” and operates clearly even in
common congested domestic radio
traffic situations.
