Access Point Transceiver (APT)

The access point transceiver is the hub of the audio signal flow and manages the RF stability of each microphone in the group.
The APT performs the following functions:
• Receives and decrypts wireless audio signals from microphones in the group
• Delivers the audio signal to the digital audio network and audio network interface (ANI)
• Hosts an embedded web server that provides access to the control software used to manage the MXW system
• Sends and receives control information (such as gain adjustment and link settings) between the components, MXW con­
trol software and 3rd party controllers.
• Transmits an encrypted audio signal to the microphone's headphone output for listening to translated audio or other exter­
nal sources.
