CONTROLCOMMUNICATESMARTPANEL multifunctional user interface, RIEDEL Communications has closed the loop between
communications and real-time media routing. In addition to linking the SMARTPANEL directly into
the RIEDEL MediorNet media network as a dedicated control panel, the new MediorNet Control App
in combination with the existing Intercom Apps gives users simultaneous intercom functionality,
enabling them to route, control, and communicate all at once using a single 1 RU system.
