BOLERO WIRELESS INTERCOM
INTEGRATED / STANDALONE LINK / STANDALONE 2110 (AES67)

BOLERORIEDEL’S STATE-OF-THE-ART
WIRELESS INTERCOM SYSTEM.
Now with Integrated, Standalone Link & Standalone 2110 (AES67) mode.

As an all-new wireless intercom system capable of supporting up to 250 beltpacks and 100 antennas in a single deployment, Bolero is a true gamechanger. Bolero redefines the wireless intercom category with features such as its ADR (Advanced DECT Receiver) with multi-diversity and antireflection technology for greater RF robustness, “Touch&Go” NFC beltpack registration, and versatile operation as a wireless beltpack, a wirelesskeypanel, or — in an industry first — a walkie-talkie.

With the addition of the newest Bolero Standalone 2110 (AES67) mode, there

are now three network modes available for Bolero systems – each of themconnect to AES67-capable switches and to Artist frames equipped with AES67

now supported.
Bolero Standalone Link provides plug & play simplicity that is ideal forsmaller installations, portable deployments, or cases where IP networks
are not required. Up to 100 antennas and 100 beltpacks can be quickly andeasily set up and configured via a web browser, without the need for an Artist
Intercom matrix since audio mixing and all control functions are handled by
the antennas. Antennas may be positioned in a redundant ring or daisy chain
topology using CAT5 cabling. With the optional EPS-1005 power supply, up to
five antennas can be powered and adding multiple PSUs creates a redundant
power ring. Finally, an NSA-002A stream adapter is used to interface Bolero
with other intercom systems via analog 4-wire and provide GPIOs forconvenient external device handling.
Similarly, Bolero Standalone 2110 (AES67) lets users establish IP-based Bolero
networks without the need for an Artist matrix. The antennas are distributed
over a SMPTE 2110-30 (AES67) IP network and connected via AES67 PoE
switches. Up to 100 antennas and 100 beltpacks can be accomodated per
Bolero Net and configured via a web browser. In Standalone Link deployments,
audio mixing and control functions are handled by the antennas; the optional
NSA-002A provides analogue interfacing and GPIOs and fiber-connected

switches or switch cascades can be used to cover long distances.

Bolero is available in a DECT version and in the new 2.4 GHz version. A
high-clarity voice codec provides both higher speech intelligibility and more
efficient use of RF spectrum supporting twice the number of beltpacks perantenna for the same radio bandwidth as other systems. The Riedel-exclusive
ADR technology combines a unique receiver design with multiple diversity
elements specifically designed to reduce sensitivity to multipath reflections,making Bolero DECT and 2.4 GHz useable in challenging RF environments
where other systems have great difficulty.

supply antenna scheme

The beltpack itself features six intercom channels and a separate “Reply”
button for a quick reply to the last caller. Bolero’s sunlight readable anddimmable display can be rotated so that it is readable in any orientation. Also,in an industry first, the beltpack can be used without a headset like a walkietalkie radio utilizing an integrated mic and speaker. Bolero DECT beltpacks
support Bluetooth, allowing either a Bluetooth headset or a Smartphone tobe connected. When a Smartphone is connected, the beltpack can act like a
car’s “hands free” setup so the user can receive calls on their phone and talkand listen via their beltpack headset. Users can also inject phone calls directly
into the intercom channels, providing new levels of workflow flexibility.
Based on Riedel’s extensive rental experience, the beltpack uses acombination of premium materials, including high-impact plastics and rubber
overmolds, making it both tough and comfortable to use in any situation.
