Live event and pro audio industry communication specialist punQtum has become the latest company to form part of the Ravenna community.

Established in 2019, punQtum recently debuted the Q110 Beltpack, the first element in a larger networked intercom system that offers up to 32 partylines via standard IP networks and infrastructures. Its scalability enables the Q110 to be part of systems of any size, ranging from small events requiring just two beltpacks to as many are required for large, complex systems.

Using AES67 as a cornerstone, the punQtum Intercom system integrates with AES67-compliant networks such as Ravenna and Dante. ‘Using network technology for digital communication makes total sense,’ says punQtum CEO, Arie van den Broek. ‘Ethernet is available in many places already, so the ability to plug into a network instantly broadens and facilitates your scope of operation. Technologies such as Ravenna – which offers high performance and interoperability – are an integral part of the IP landscape and are instrumental in driving progress, so it makes complete sense that we should be part of that community.’

‘We’ve already seen the importance of digital IP-based intercom in the broadcast sector, where it is already pretty well established with Ravenna/AES67 as the principal transport technology,’ says ALC NetworX’s Andreas Hildebrand. ‘The extension of Ravenna-based AoIP transport into the operational side of live events is the next logical step.’
