FreeSpeak Edge IP transceiver forms a link between FS Edge 5GHz beltpacks and a Clear-Com matrix (E-
IPA-HX interface card). The transceiver is designed for use on AES67 enabled Local Area networks (LAN). It
requires careful setup of an AES67 compatible network switch with PTP. For details see: Clear-Com AoIP
network and switch recommendations.
