MicroCom M, from Pliant Technologies, is now shipping. MicroCom M, available in 900-megahertz (where legal) and 2.4-gigahertz frequency bands, is a compact wireless intercom solution. It offers a communications solution where a small yet robust intercom system needs to be deployed. MicroCom M provides a single channel, full-duplex, multi-user intercom for applications.

MicroCom M is a compact, economical system that features 10-hour lithium-ion battery operation and can have up to five full-duplex users. The system is simple to operate and provides unlimited listener capability in addition to duplex users, all without the need for a base station. Also, up to four different MicroCom M systems can be deployed in the same area at the same time. Its RF technology is based on an encrypted Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) transmission that ensures secure connectivity along with reliable communications.

The system features small, water-resistant, lightweight beltpacks. MicroCom M is intended for professional use and is aimed at single event rooms, stage productions, houses of worship, corporate events, schools and a wide array of other applications. Included in the wide variety of available headset options, Pliant’s series of SmartBoom headsets has now been expanded to include versions for use with MicroCom M beltpacks. For those applications where budget and quality are critical, MicroCom M, paired with a SmartBoom headset, is a potential solution.
