  • Page 15: General Description

    General Description The Tempest 2400 Wireless Intercom System is a four-channel wireless intercom system that operates with up to five wireless beltstations per base station in full duplex simultaneous operation. Tempest operates in the non-licensed RF band at 2.4GHz. Tempest wireless systems will not interfere with traditional wireless microphone, IFB or in-ear monitor systems that operate in the UHF TV band.
