CrewCom - Hands-Free Wireless Communication for Your Crew

Increase Safety and Productivity

On many job sites there are often times where voice communications between workers are "Mission Critical" for either worker safety or increased productivity. Whether the situation calls for better coordination amongst workers to enhance productivity, or work-site hazards that demand accurate and potentially life-saving instructions between workers, communication is a key element in may work environments.

In the past, communication solutions have included wired intercom systems (not practical in many environments and applications), 'Walkie-Talkie' radio and telephones systems that are half-duplex (talk or listen but not both at the same time and are not 'hands free'), hand signaling and yelling instructions. Professional wireless intercom communications systems were available for some of these applications but often required significant technical knowledge and government licensing. Recent advances in radio transmission technology and changes in government radio frequency requirements have facilitated dramatic advances in wireless communications.

Groups of Workers can Communicate Separately on a Single System

Today, CrewCom Wireless allows for multiple workers to speak hands-free in full duplex (like a telephone with everyone on an extension). In addition, different groups of workers can communicate separately on a single system. If needed, supervisory or other personnel can change communications from one group to another group simply and quickly.

No License Required

CrewCom Wireless all-digital technology takes advantage of the latest advances in digital radio transmission. CrewCom Wireless uses a special frequency (2.4GHz) that requires no end-user government licensing of any kind anywhere in the world. In addition the latest advances in semiconductors and battery technology allow for a lightweight comfortably designed system that allows up to 10 hours of use with the built-in rechargeable battery.

Other features include: weather resistant design, provision for 2 directly connected headsets and 2 additional wired BeltPacks at the BaseStation, and a variety of user headsets. These features have secured CrewCom Wireless as the a leader in wireless communications for Utility and Industrial Communications.
