Clear-Com Facilitates Remote Intercom in Home Productions

Agent-IC, a mobile app for iOS and Android, turns smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices into full-featured intercom panels and connectivity over WiFi, 3G, 4G, and LTE networks.

With many productions around the world currently operating from the homes of staff and on-screen talent due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Clear-Com has seen an increase in the adoption of Agent-IC, its mobile app for iOS and Android that turns smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices into full-featured intercom panels and connectivity over WiFi, 3G, 4G, and LTE networks.

Bob Boster, President of Clear-Com, highlights that "Clear-Com has always had a wide range of products and solutions for various workflows and working conditions. While it would be fair to say that we never imagined our current scenario, the Agent-IC is providing a simple yet highly effective solution to help production teams working from home around the world stay connected."

Since its launch in 2015, Agent-IC has been employed to provide an easy-to-implement communication solution between facility staff and on-site production teams for field reporting, live event production, remote coordination, and other critical tasks. Local and remote LQ devices can access up to 48 Agent-IC users, where LQ acts as the application server.

Broadcasters around the world, including Verizon Media, WFMZ/WDPN-TV of Philadelphia and Home Shopping Europe (HSE24), are now looking for the Agent-IC to meet their production needs from home, and in the last two weeks alone, more than thirty customers have added the app to their networks.
