Additionally, there are a surprising amount of people using this app in industrial applications and many need hearing protection. That’s why we’ve launched our new SBG-4 cable for smartphones. It works with the G-Series headsets.
The top intercom manufacturers are also now using apps so that you can link in wirelessly to existing wired intercom systems and radio networks. An outstanding example of this is Clearcom’s Agent-IC app. As the Clear-Com website describes: “Agent-IC is a mobile intercom app enables a smartphone or tablet device to operate as a fully-featured mobile user panel and… it can connect over Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G and LTE networks.” Brilliant stuff!
