ALAMEDA, Calif.—Clear-Com has begun shipping its Gen-IC Virtual Intercom, a new system combining the benefits of cloud production with the system reliability for which the company is known.
The Gen-IC Virtual Intercom seamlessly integrates with existing hardware ecosystems and can function as a standalone software solution. Its scalability allows users to add virtual clients as needed. The virtual intercom can also integrate with Clear-Com's hardware infrastructure over LAN, WAN and the internet, the company said.
