Shenzhen-based professional A/V specialist Hollyland has adopted AntennaWare’s BodyWave DECT antenna as a core component in its latest wireless intercom system, the Geo Central Station & Solidcom H1.
Designed for live production, corporate events, TV broadcast and integration projects, Hollyland’s new system supports up to 50 beltpacks and eight antennae in a single deployment. With advanced wireless channel switching, wideband audio transmission, and noise reduction technology, the Geo Central Station delivers a reliable, high-quality communication experience for production teams working in demanding environments.
One of the greatest challenges for wireless intercom systems is maintaining reliable coverage in crowded venues where body blocking, interference, and signal congestion can disrupt performance.
Hollyland addressed this issue by working with AntennaWare to embed the BodyWave Antenna directly into the Solidcom BPK01 Beltpack, replacing the external whip antenna, which was vulnerable to breakage, for a smaller yet more durable beltpack with superior wireless performance.
Hollyland’s rigorous performance testing reported a 12dB link budget improvement in Non-Line-of-Sight conditions and an extended range of over 330m (NLoS). A highly significant achievement exceeding the performance of its previous external antenna designs, despite using an embedded antenna.
This collaboration enables Hollyland’s new system to deliver greater roaming capability, expanded beltpack capacity, and enhanced system flexibility, all at around 50 per cent of the cost of comparable alternative products.
‘We have worked closely with Hollyland to help bring this breakthrough product to market,’ says AntennaWare CTO and co-founder, Dr Matthew Magill. ‘Hollyland’s own testing once again proves the real-world performance improvements realised with BodyWave antenna technology, allowing our partners to offer a greatly improved wireless experience to their customer base.’
