Built around familiar and innovative partyline channels, where all channel users can hear all talkers, HelixNet provides an easy transition for intercom users, allowing them to focus on their primary task with minimal assistance or training. Users can select or be assigned any of the system’s up to 24 channels with independently mixed Program Audio without change in system configuration, wiring, crosstalk or noises. Ease of deploying channels on HelixNet allows for efficient communication.

Effortless Administration

HelixNet user stations are automatically discovered, firmware matched and added to the system without configuration. Designed for fast operation, ease-of-use and flexible deployment, HelixNet allows configuration locally using intuitive front panel menus on the user stations, or centrally from the system host’s Core Configuration Manager (CCM), an intuitive administration interface accessible on web browsers.

Infrastructure Agnostic

Concurrently capable of supporting user station connections over traditional XLR audio cabling and Ethernet networks allows for the most suitable connectivity for the application at hand. Robust Powerlines allow user station network and power connections using the HXII-DPL powerline device. Ethernet and fiber provide the ability to utilize structured cabling as well as standard or converged networks, automatically adaptive to a wide range of network quality. Flexible power options over Powerline, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and local AC or DC power. HelixNet is unique in its infrastructural flexibility.

Flexible Interfacing

HelixNet wired partyline is hosted by Arcadia Central Station or HMS-4X Main Station (Legacy). Arcadia’s Licensed Ports allow up to 24 channels to be HelixNet enabled for 128 HelixNet user stations while supporting FreeSpeak wireless intercom and 2-wire, 4-wire, I.V. Direct and Dante interfaces. HMS-4X main station offers 12 to 24 channels for 64 endpoints, 2-wire or 4-wire interface modules, linked LQ hosts, Station-IC & Agent-IC virtual intercom clients for Windows, MACOS, Android and iOS as well as interfacing to 2-wire/4-wire VoIP SIP, two-way radio, GPIO and E-IPA/IVC-32 equipped Eclipse HX frame.

Simple HelixNet System

Arcadia Central Station is the host of any HelixNet system connecting to user stations via Ethernet networks or XLR Powerline using the HXII-DPL Powerline Device allowing up to 24 channels to be HelixNet enabled using Arcadia’s Licensed Ports. User stations are powered via, Powerline, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or local power. Arcadia provides integrated 2-wire partyline, 4-wire line-level, I.V. Direct and Dante interface ports.
