Riedel Communications has claimed the world’s first native integration of VoIP telephone technology into a matrix intercom infrastructure at this year’s infoComm exhibition – reflecting the Voice-over-IP’s growing acceptance for telephone applications and the death of analogue telephone hybrids.
After installing Riedel’s new firmware update for the Artist VOIP-108 client card, SIP-compatible VoIP telephone servers can now be integrated into the Riedel Artist digital matrix intercom system. As a result, it is possible to call any VoIP telephone within the network directly from an Artist key panel. In addition it is possible to call Artist panels from a VoIP telephone.
Riedel’s Voice-over-IP product range includes the VOIP-108 matrix client card, the Connect IPx2 and Connect IPx8 panel interfaces for connecting two respectively eight intercom panels over IP and the Riedel’s Virtual Key Panel Series. The virtual Artist panels allow a regular computer to be used as an intercom control panel in combination with any Artist digital matrix intercom system. While the free Artist VCP-1004 Virtual Panel provides four talk-keys, the new Artist VCP-1012 Virtual Panel features 12 talk-keys.
