'Conference call' communications in high-noise situations

摘要

The typical two-way radio found on most jobsites has its limitations. First, in order to talk, you need to press a button, taking one hand off the work in front of you. Second, crew members are only able to talk one at a time. Third, using radios in high noise situations can be difficult to impossible. Piratecom's VL6 tackles these problems, offering a hands-free wireless communications intercom for extreme noise conditions. The company, which started five years ago devising communication solutions for marine and government entities, introduced a construction version at World of Concrete.
